Twyford Farm

220 acres
Mixed pasture farm and woodland

Twyford Farm is a magical property. It is a 220-acre mix of wonderful woodland, peaceful pasture and an exquisite lake located in Ashdown Forest, in the High Weald area of outstanding natural beauty.

The farm was donated to the CRT in 2013 by the late Alison Mountain. Current tenants, Bob Felton and Liz Wallis use the farm for grazing sheep and cattle as well as running a very popular B&B. With the outstanding surroundings the guest accommodation is incredibly popular with wildlife lovers and people just wanting a rest and retreat from busy urban life.

The farm has a number of small grass meadows, all of which have grass verges and hedges to create attractive corridors for wildlife. We keep the area as quiet and undisturbed as possible. Our volunteers on site carry out conservation activities to make the meadows a home to wildlife as well as livestock.

The highlight of the farm is the ancient woodland, which is rich in wildlife such as roe and fallow deer, rare birds such as the lesser spotted woodpecker and marsh tit and rare flora such as the ivy-leaved bellflower. During the first fortnight of May, there is an eruption of bluebells which is breathtaking.

Winter feeding makes the difference

Farmland bird remain among the most threatened species in this country and their decline is nothing short of cataclysmic.

Regional ELMS co-ordinators should be provided by Defra
