Not just Lynchmere, but Stanley and Marley Commons too
The Lynchmere Society own Stanley Heath, Lynchmere Common, Little Lynchmere, Marley Heath and manage parts of Marley Common
A total of five distinctive areas and five grazing fields, 150 hectares/360 acres. There is also an orchard and a 17th century barn. With traditional wildflower hay meadows and pastures it is a natural habitat for flora and fauna. There are many walking routes that zig zag through; Lowland Heath, Woodland and Wood Pastures including The Serpent Trail, The Sussex Border Path and Lipchis Way. We host regular Volunteer Parties and there is a Cow Club to help manage the land. |
