![]() The public footpaths signs around the Knepp Estate have been helpfully colour coded to help assist with following the routes. ![]() Knepp Estate has kindly provided a walking map with four different routes mapped out, all of which start and end at the designated car park (see below). There are also five tree-viewing platforms allowing you to see panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. There are a number of public footpaths that cover 16 miles of the Knepp Estate, allowing you to see the effects of the rewilding project up close. Isabella Tree, wife of Charlie Burrell who is the present owner of the Knepp Estate has documented the rewilding process in her book ‘Wilding’. The rewilding project has seen an increase of rare species in the area, including nightingales, peregrine falcons, turtle doves and purple emperor butterflies. The land, since 2001, has been subject to a ‘rewilding’ project, using grazing animals and restoring natural water courses in order to increase wildlife in the area. The Knepp Estate is located just south of Horsham and consists of 3,500 acres owned by the Burrell family for over 220 years. ![]() This car park is open from 7am -7pm and no overnight parking is allowed. ![]() There is a new walker’s car park accessed from Worthing Road slip road from the A24 and is seen on Google Maps. ![]()
