Run by Clophill Heritage Trust, Clophill Eco Lodges offers an intimate setting in a truly unforgettable location. 

Set in a tranquil woodland copse, half a mile up a private track in the heart of Greensand Country, the property offers nearlyweds a stunning location to tie the knot. Exchange vows in The Nest, which features floor-to-ceiling windows and can host 30 loved ones. Alternatively, St Mary’s Old Church is a Grade II Listed building and a scheduled ancient monument believed to date back to the 11th-century. This deconsecrated church is bursting with history, and is a stunning backdrop to wedding celebrations with 80 people. 

Couples can continue the celebrations with up to 100 people in any hired marquee. Guests will love the barbeque and fire pit areas to enjoy with loved ones. The four lodges on-site sleep 18 people and have been set up in a flexible configuration of doubles and twin rooms. The spaces are ideal for large groups, weddings and wellness retreats. Halfway along the Greensand Ridge Walk, it’s very popular with walkers, trail runners and families wanting to explore the great outdoors.
