Situated in the South Downs National Park and right on the South Downs National Trail, The Sustainability Centre provides affordable accommodation for groups, individuals or families.

We have a variety of accommodation available, from the welcoming Wetherdown Eco Lodge that can accommodate up to 38 people, to our peaceful campsite which offers yurt and tipi experiences alongside regular camping. (Please note: Yurts are only available from April to October)

Set within the 55 acres at the Sustainability Centre, we have plenty of woodlands and nature to explore on site, and can provide maps for the many self-guided walks and cycle paths available from our doorstep.

Within a 3 mile walking distance of the hostel are Old Winchester Hill Nature Reserve, Butser Hill and Queen Elizabeth Country Park, East Meon historical village, Clanfield Village, 4 country pubs, and many footpaths and bridle ways with beautiful views of the Downs.
