🐾 The Joy of Countryside Walks: Why They're Magic for You and Your Dog
There’s something quietly transformative about escaping to the countryside — especially when it’s the rolling hills and peaceful trails of the South Downs National Park. This breathtaking stretch of southern England feels tailor-made for wandering, and at Westerlands, we believe it’s even better with a four-legged companion trotting beside you.
Our Shared Vision for Nature, Community, and Healing.
We are delighted to share the news that the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) has formally endorsed the Westerlands Whole Estate Plan. This endorsement is not only an affirmation of our vision and values for the next twenty years, but a shared commitment to a brighter, more sustainable future for people and nature at the heart of the South Downs.
South Downs Food & Nature Fest: Blending Biodiversity, Farming and Gastronomy
In June 2025, Westerlands played host to the South Downs Food & Nature Fest — a gathering of nature enthusiasts interested in exploring the deep connection between what we eat and the health of the land around us. Despite the rain forecast, the day began under clear skies, blessing the event’s 80 attendees with a beautiful morning.
What is Zoopharmacognosy?
In the wild horses will roam across vast areas foraging for food and water. They will naturally seek out herbs for general health and they instinctively seek out medicinal herbs to aid any ailments they may have. Domesticated horses do not have access to this variety of herbs, so at Westerlands we bring the herbs to the horses.

Autumn Reflections
The clocks went back this weekend. Spring forward, Fall back, as they say… With that, we always like to take a moment to reflect on the season just gone, the change towards colder weather, and the darker (but equally beautiful) months in front of us.
Edible Hedgerows
Mindful of our role as guardians, not owners, of our little plot of countryside, we’re embarking on a massive regeneration (some might call it rewilding) programme here at Westerlands. We’ve already started, planting over 700 metres of “edible” hedgerows, with lots more to come.
