Saddlescombe Farm
Saddlescombe is a working farm, so some areas are not open to the public. However, you can visit the donkey wheel and information barn at any time of year. You can also walk through Newtimber’s ancient woodland or to Devil’s Dyke and back and if you’re lucky, you might witness some lambing.
