The trail runs through the site, but as we are still fairly new to the area we haven't had the chance to explore this yet, but we most certainly will, so please look out for updates in the coming months!

Standon House (National Trust) - 0.2 miles
Just across the road from our site, Standen house was built by a well to do family during the height or the arts and crafts movement and is awash with William Morris wallpaper. It’s a fascinating house, and even better garden, with a schedule of activities for young children throughout the summer and a lovely café for a spot of lunch.

Old Dunning's mill - 0.5miles
This pub a 15 minute leisurely stroll from our site. It has a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent menu. Children and dogs are welcome too! And you might be delighted to hear that on Friday nights the kitchen stays open till 9pm and kids are welcome until 10pm. So no need for camp cooking for those who arrive late and slightly frazzled after work on Friday night!
East Grinstead Museum - 2 miles
This is a lovely and fascinating museum in the heart of East Grinstead. The museum is small, but there is plenty to explore. I am a theatre nurse and I have worked a great part of my career in the field of reconstructive plastic surgery and therefore personally their flagship exhibition "Rebuilding Bodies and Souls" is particularly interesting to me.

Weir Wood Reservoir - 2 miles
We have yet to review this attraction, if you have been there we would love to hear you thoughts.
Kingscote estate Vineyard - 3 miles
Old Plaw hatch farm - 3 miles
the beautiful Old Plaw Hatch Farm, which is an organic, biodynamic working farm with a garden, cafe and a shop brimming with gorgeous food! Huge amount of the food has been locally produced at the farm. And can I just say that they have a Cheese Cave.
A cave, Full of cheese!!!!!!
This lovely place is only about 10 minute drive away from Sunnyside and definitely worth a visit, especially if you are looking for something extra nice to chuck on the BBQ.
For years, this farm has also been looking after our land by cutting the hay and feeding it to the cows. We hope to carry on with this relationship for years to come!
Ashdown Forest visitors centre - 5 miles
British Wildlife centre - 6 miles

Bluebell railway - 10 miles
You can hear the toot-toot of the steam engines from the site, as the tracks run fairly close by. There are a variety of services available its just as great for young families as it for older dull men. They even do a posh dinner train.
