"Safari Britain is too good to recommend. Just book it without any research... it's fascinating, delicious, and with a shower to shame any four star hotel. If the rain was thundering down I'd still defy anyone not to have a brilliant time..." Valentine Warner, TV Chef of What to Eat Now

For weekday bookings, the guides are not included in the price, but they can be booked separately. Foraging: you can learn to forage for wild plants, mushrooms and berries, and prepare meals including wild stinger pesto, rabbit and squirrel stew and English snails.
Nature and Survival skills: Learn how to make fire with bow drills, skin rabbits, make nettle ropes, build shelters, and a host of other skills that we seem to have forgotten. Falconry: Our falconers will bring some birds of prey and maybe an owl to the camp. Everyone will have a chance to hold a bird and see how they perform as they hunt across the plough. Birds: Our guide will come to the camp armed with binoculars and pictures and take everyone on a bird song walk - learn to identify the different downland birds and hopefully see some wild birds of prey. Wild Flowers: Go on a wild flower walk - the camp is surrounded by protected grassland famous for its orchids and other wild flowers particular to the chalk downland.
Landscape drawing: All ages can enjoy a couple of hours drawing the stunning landscape in which the camp nestles. Our artist will bring easels and paper and show even the most doubting artist that they draw something worth keeping.
Archaeology: Within a short distance from the camp there are ancient tumuli, Bronze age settlements, chalk quarries and Roman field systems. Our guide makes this very accessible, even for the younger members of a group. Landscape history and geology: Ever wonder how the Downs came to be? Our guide will explain the geology of its voluptuous folds and take you on a historical walk through the Downland villages.

Each weekend we provide a couple of activities in or around the campsite tailored to suit your interests and age group. Many of the guides know a lot about everything – so if you book a forager, it won’t necessarily mean that you can’t learn about the local birds or flowers as well. Below are some of the activities that you can choose from. Have a look also at “Our Guides” on the following page. Each guide will meet you at the campsite at a pre-arranged hour and stay with your for around 3-4 hours…
Natural navigation: Natural navigation is the rare art of knowing how to navigate using the world around you - the sun, stars, moon, weather, plants and animals. A walk with our natural navigator will teach you how ancient man got about long before AA roadmaps and satnav.
