About Forest Garden Shovelstrode

Forest Garden Shovelstrode, a place for people to escape their busy lives and re-connect with nature.

Forest Garden Shovelstrode, located on the edge of Ashdown Forest in Sussex, was created in 2011 by Charles & Lisa Hooper as a place for people to escape their busy lives and re-connect with nature.

Guests can really unwind in a beautiful Yurt or Log cabin within a secluded ancient woodland surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of the flora and fauna

Charles & Lisa also teach people different ways of living more self sufficiently and lowering their carbon footprint through a variety of traditional woodland craft courses.

The centre piece is a Forest Garden where an abundance of useful, and mostly edible, plants are grown within the seven canopy layers.

There are 2 luxury Yurts and 4 log cabins located in their own secluded area of the woodland, each with 2 x double beds. Guests will enjoy in the calm and meditative atmosphere of the ancient woodland formerly known as ‘Anderida Forest’.

All the units are well appointed and have a fire pit and grill outside and a log burning stove and a double ring camping stove inside. They are fully equipped with everything required for cooking.

The units are approximately 50 metres apart, allowing everyone to have their secluded space and privacy.

New to the site for 2023, is a recently construction wood fired sauna for guests to use. We charge £20 per person per hour.
