About Brakes Coppice Park
Brakes Coppice Park is a small, family-run touring and camping site tucked into woodland near Sedlescombe, roughly seven miles inland from Hastings in the 1066 Country countryside between Hastings and Battle. It is a deliberately low-key alternative to the larger coastal parks, with a limited number of pitches set among trees and hedgerows rather than an open field, giving each one a reasonable amount of privacy.
Facilities are straightforward rather than extensive: electric hookups, a shower and toilet block, and basic essentials rather than a full shop or pool, reflecting the site's focus on quiet touring and camping rather than a full self-contained holiday park experience. Dogs are welcome, and the wooded, rural setting suits couples and walkers more than families looking for on-site entertainment.
Sedlescombe village itself, with its pub and green, is a short walk or drive away, and Battle, with its abbey and 1066 battlefield, is a similarly short drive, making this a sensible base for exploring the Weald countryside with Hastings and the coast as a day-trip option rather than the main event. The seven-mile drive into Hastings takes around twenty minutes on quiet roads.
