Neolithic Camp

The earthworks here date back roughly 5,000 years, and what you're looking at is one of Sussex's most significant Neolithic remains. It's essentially a series of defensive ditches and banks - the kind of thing that requires you to use your imagination a bit, since there's no reconstructed village or museum-style interpretation. You walk the site itself, tracing the outline of what was once a proper settlement.

This is absolutely for archaeology enthusiasts and anyone who gets a kick out of standing where people actually lived in the Stone Age. Casual day-trippers might struggle to extract much from bare earthworks without a guide, and there's no café or visitor centre to soften the experience. Children can run about, but they'll get bored within thirty minutes unless they're genuinely interested in prehistory.

Arundel, just a few miles south, makes a sensible base for exploring. The nearby caravan parks - Camp and Touring site at Old Farm Slindon is closest at 3.5 miles, while Brookside Caravan Park gets rave reviews - put you within easy driving distance. Allow an hour if you're serious about the site, less if you're just passing through.

It's free to visit as far as I can tell, and there's no formal opening hours restriction - it's archaeological land you can access on foot. The real value here comes from pairing it with other attractions in the area rather than making it a solo destination. Worth a detour if you're already exploring Sussex's heritage sites, but don't expect polished presentation.
