Facilities:
Davy Down is publicly accessible all year round on foot. The area was originally farmland and dates back to at least 1730. The Stifford Pumping Station, which dominates its setting, was built in 1926-27 to extract water from the chalk below. The Stifford Pumping Station has free open days every Thursday from 1pm-5pm.
In May 1993 the Davy Down Trust began developing the land so it could be utilised by the public. Check the website to learn more about the Open Day Programme which runs from April-October.
