Morning light cuts across a field of wildflowers and the air smells of wet grass and wood smoke — you arrive at Stonerocks Farm to a four‑hour retreat that moves at the land’s tempo.
Begin with gentle breathing and outdoor yoga beneath a cosy tent, then let the woodland take over: guided forest bathing slows your steps so oak trunks and the soft underfoot chalk tell you where you are. Forager and naturalist Steven Homewood leads a walk, pointing out edible plants, birds of prey hovering above and a herd of deer that may drift through the margins.
Geology here is quiet but present — the South Downs’ chalk underlies rolling meadows and thin, well‑drained soils that support wildflowers and ancient beech and oak copses. Culturally, the area bridges working farmland and the blossoming Bolney Wine Estate; a 30‑minute stroll can end at vineyards planted in chalky slopes that produce English sparkling wines.
Practical guidance: dress in layers and weatherproof footwear; the day is largely outdoors, and activities continue in light rain with sheltered areas and firepits available. Expect gentle slopes and unpaved tracks across roughly 100 acres; fitness should be moderate — you’ll be walking, standing, and moving through slow yoga sequences.
Logistics: public transport options exist nearby but driving is easiest; the host recommends canceling if weather becomes severe. Bring water, a small picnic or enjoy the option to finish the day at Bolney Wine Estate. Leave no trace and follow forager guidance before sampling anything; the site prioritizes low‑impact, respectful use of private land.

This patch of the South Downs has long been agricultural, with chalk soils used for grazing; nearby vineyards are part of a recent revival of English wine on these slopes.
