Where a Sussex farm meets the Sea
Integrating Nature within the farmed landscape
Stroodelande - a windswept, ever-changing landscape shaped by nature and history. Rooted in Old English, it suggests scattered or reclaimed land both untamed and purposeful where resilience and ingenuity thrive. It embodies the balance between the wild and the crafted, a place shaped by time and human effort.
At Stroodelande, where farmland meets the sea, we are dedicated to supporting nature, wildlife, and coastal biodiversity. Our focus is on creating space for habitats to flourish while carefully managing the land through sustainable farming and responsible stewardship. Supporting Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is at the heart of what we do, ensuring that nature thrives alongside our working landscape.
We offer ways for people to connect with the land through camping, glamping, and holiday lets, allowing guests to experience the richness of the natural world around them. Every part of our approach from the way we farm to how we share this place is rooted in a deep respect for the environment, fostering a future where wildlife and people coexist in balance.
Café & Beach Car Park Project
We have officially submitted plans to relocate the Climping Beach Car Park, café, and toilet facilities further inland due to ongoing shoreline changes from storms and coastal erosion. This proposal aims to secure long-term public access to the coast and adjacent countryside, improve safety, and safeguard the future of our coastline whilst maintaining the natural beauty and character of Climping. The new location is future proofed being above the flood plain and has been carefully selected to blend with the landscape, enhance biodiversity, and ensure Climping Beach remains a welcoming and sustainable destination for all.
We welcome the support and engagement of the local community as this project moves forward. All feedback is valuable, whether positive or otherwise, it will help shape the outcome.
