Wood Farm, TN35
Wood Farm offers an excellent location for woodland shoots and is just 10 minutes drive from Rye or Hastings.
The 360 acre farm is tucked away on one side of the Brede Valley. Its blended mix of woodland and grass pastures extend gently down to the marshes of the River Brede’s lowland area below. All parcels of woodland benefit from their own ponds and trackways, with a varied range of tree species and an abundance of wild flowers and birds.
The farmer’s priority is to restore, nurture and preserve this idyllic slice of the Brede Valley in Sussex for generations to come. Dedicated efforts towards hedge laying, double fencing, pond and wild meadow creation, along with ongoing woodland management have created a beautiful setting for a film or photo shoot.
