A nice nature reserve with a variety of different habitats. The dog walkers were very respectful as well. Unfortunately, it's located very close to some construction works right now, but otherwise a lovely place to walk your dog. The area is clearly well-managed, with little to no litter, and logs from nearby trees line the pathway in places to encourage sticking to it.

Bedelands Nature Reserve is a real hidden gem tucked away on the northern edge of Burgess Hill. The reserve offers a peaceful escape into nature, with a wonderful mix of meadows, ancient woodlands, hedgerows, and ponds. It feels surprisingly wild for somewhere so close to the town, making it a perfect spot for anyone looking to unwind, walk, or enjoy a bit of wildlife watching. The meadows are particularly beautiful in summer, when wildflowers are in full bloom and butterflies are everywhere. What makes Bedelands special is its rich biodiversity. If you are lucky you may spot woodpeckers, owls, and a variety of songbirds, while the ponds and streams are home to frogs, newts, and dragonflies. The management of the reserve has struck a good balance between conservation and accessibility, with footpaths that are well maintained but not overly formal, keeping the natural feel intact. It’s not a place for big facilities – you won’t find cafés, toilets, or playgrounds here – but that’s part of the appeal. It’s a nature reserve first and foremost, designed to be enjoyed quietly and respectfully. Parking nearby is limited, so it’s often best accessed on foot or by bike if you live locally.

Great place for a dog walk. Many friendly dog walkers there too. It is usually very muddy in the winter months so bring your Wellies. It's a lovely place for a picnic in summer. Most beautiful wild flower meadows to see in the spring. Winter is also very beautiful in Bedelands. We're so lucky to have such a wonderful place here in Burgess Hill.

What a pleasant surprise this place turned out to be. Just 7 min away from us, we were not aware of it before. Nice walks and a lot of information about the history of the farm. Very well done, very well signed, nobody can get lost here. We will be back.

Lots to explore, a brilliant place for a dog walk!, For family young and old. Good pump tracks for bikers. Beautiful open fields, woodland and a lake. My son found a swing and had a great time. Not a flat terrain, hilly in places. Social and friendly🙏♥️
