Hogmoor Inclosure

Hogmoor Inclosure is a haven for a variety of species of birds, with Foreys pond an excellent destination for those looking to take in some of the local wildlife. Hogmoor’s bat hibernation bunker is also an important facility to protect the local bat population, and if you go for a walk in the twilight you might see some of these amazing creatures flying around. You may also come across some of our bug hotels which provide a home for Hogmoor’s smallest residents, allowing them to shelter, grow and thrive. Places to discover: Discover the Wealden Heath SPA - South Downs National Park Authority    

With over 54 hectares of woodland and heathland – equivalent to 70 football pitches – there is plenty of space for everyone to experience a breath of fresh air. You can enjoy walking, running and cycling trails, a play and picnic area, and great opportunities for wildlife spotting. Café Hogmoor is an excellent place to relax, includes an education room, and has toilets and changing facilities.

The green spaces are all about bringing the new community together, providing a safe, welcoming environment for all. Regular events and activities will be organised throughout the year to be enjoyed by local residents.

Prince Philip Park has a dedicated Estates and Community Officer from the Land Trust who will have overall responsibility for delivering activities to bring the new community and residents together. They will supervise the work of Deadwater Valley Trust and other contractors, undertake regular site inspections and will be available to meet with residents to discuss future plans for Prince Philip Park.

The Land Trust believes a green space works best when the community is actively engaged and involved in how it is managed.

Our role will be to work in partnership with residents, volunteers and community groups so that the green spaces at Prince Philip Park are used in a way to provide maximum benefit to the people who call it home.
