Location
Forest Knights bushcraft school courses are held in the beautiful Sussex countryside not far from the historic city of Arundel. Our site is on the edge of the proposed South Downs National Park and contains a wide range of plants, animals and bird life
We are perfectly situated for easy travel from London and the major cities on the south coast like Brighton, Southampton and Crawley. Gatwick is less than 40 minutes away.
Enjoy a weekend or longer in our beautiful woods with 250 acres to explore you can leave the stress of modern city living behind and immerse yourself in the rewarding timeless world of bushcraft and survival.
To reduce our impact on the woodland environment we use a number of camping areas within the woods, each site has a unique character chosen to enhance the particular bushcraft skills on offer.
The nearest train station is Arundel on the main line from Victoria. Whatever your mode of transport you will be met and lead to our camp.
If you need your HSE First Aid at work or you just want some more first aid skills this is a great value course that really focuses on our needs as bushcrafters and as responsible people.
