Location
Forest Garden Shovelstrove is a magical, tranquil location in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
This luxury, yet eco campsite hosts two beautiful yurts and four handmade cabins in the woods, each with their own cosy log burner, and outdoor fire-pit.
The shared facilities consist of two hot power showers and two flushing loos which are located beside the communal dining area, a short stroll (50-150m) from each accommodation.
Yoga will be practised in the lotus tent next to the wild pond. There is also a communal fire pit, Sauna and outdoor cold shower, and undercover break-out space.
We will have sole use of the intimate 6 acre site, of which 3.5 acres is ancient woodland.
Amongst the cosy dwellings is a thriving eco system, adopting the principles of permaculture, and self-sufficient, sustainable edible produce, which we may just be lucky enough to sample.
Onsite Bee hives also produce local honey!
