The Knepp Estate has recently made a name for itself through its rewilding programme, which has introduced free-roaming grazing animals to re-establish natural habitats. In addition, Knepp has long had several ancient woodlands and hedgerows that have attracted a diverse selection of butterfly species.

There are a few bridleways through the Knepp Estate, now a unique and fascinating habitat, from which you may see Tamworth Pigs, Longhorn Cattle, deer, raptors, butterflies and now, a relatively new population of storks, which have been reintroduced to the UK on this site. There is talk of further re-introductions, so watch this wild space!

Gravel riding

There's a wide bridleway that runs north south through the middle, starting close to the track past Shipley Windmill. It can be muddy in spring and hard and rutted when dry. Komoot flags this section as cycling not allowed but that is incorrect, it is a bridleway.
