Visiting Chesworth Farm
Chesworth Farm has 90 glorious acres of colourful meadows and ancient hedgerows to explore. Criss-crossed with footpaths and bridleways, it is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from Horsham town centre. It’s the perfect place for a family bike ride away from busy roads, and popular with dog walkers. The main paths are wheelchair accessible.
Chesworth Farm is open all day and entry is free.
Regular visitors will be aware that Southern Water have been working on the farm as part of the Mannings Heath Wastewater Treatment Works Pump Away Scheme.
This work is now complete, with the exception of the reinstatement and removal of fences.
Topsoil has been applied to encourage natural grass growth but further work to improve the area will be undertaken when the weather improves.
As the reinstatement process is seasonal, we anticipate that the fencing will remain in place until midsummer to allow everything to settle correctly.
