Description
Hargate Forest was once part of one of the great medieval forests of the Sussex High Weald. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The 150+ acre site is on the Kent/East Sussex border and boasts mature woodland, an amazing diversity of plants and wildlife, including grass snake and fallow deer.
