Shiplake Woods Based in the village of Laughton, East Sussex, 5 minutes from Glyndebourne, Little Shiplake is very rural and the property boasts 15 acres of South Downs’ fields which lead straight from the property.  At the foot of the fields you will find a secluded woodland and stream, and pathway access to the local village church. In the spring the floor of the woodland is a carpet of beautiful Bluebells for a few weeks, and must be seen to be believed.

For a small additional cost, a picnic hamper can be arranged for you to enjoy in the fields and woodland areas.
