Self-Guided Garden Tours

A self-guided tour allows you to explore our dynamic, climate-resilient Rewilded Walled Garden for a couple of hours at your own pace. We provide a map explaining the basic philosophy, layout and planting highlights of our wilding experiment. Our new QR staging posts around the garden allow you to learn the plants in different seasons and the key features of each section of the garden.

Discover the complex mosaic of habitats that provides opportunities for a wide spectrum of insects, birds and other life, and take away inspiration for your own garden. If you’d like to learn more, book on a guided tour or workshop.

Our 12+ Policy

Knepp Wildland Safaris, our gardens and campsite are all about the quiet and patient observation of nature.

Some of the species we are likely to encounter are shy or can be frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. Our campsite with open-air fire-pits, wood-burning stoves and an on-site pond is unsuitable for small children.

For this reason, our safaris, garden visits, holiday cottages and campsite are suitable only for children of 12 and over.
