COMPHURST CROSS COUNTRY WILL OPEN FOR HIRE FOR 2026 FROM THURSDAY 7TH MAY
Booking will go live soon
Welcome to Comphurst Cross Country
Our cross country training field consists of a wide variety of around 60 jumps in a 25 acre field with ditches, banks, steps, trakhners, ditch/palisades, skinnies, combination fences, a wide range of island jumps and a huge water complex set in the natural undulating and flat ground of the East Sussex countryside. Many of the jumps have all-weather take off/landing sections and we have excellent grass cover on Tunbridge Wells sand.
Jumps range in height from 30-90 cm. There is plenty of space and a quiet location and when you book a slot you are invited to stay for as long as you require, so there is no need to feel pressured or hurried. Our fences are designed to be encouraging so Comphurst works well as a training ground for young/inexperienced and more experienced combinations alike.
Parking
Parking is easy. Drive straight off the A271 (BN274RZ, next to PGL), go through the double metal gate, straight past the barn on your right and at the end of the barn, turn right and drive through the gate (please watch out for walkers on the footpath) and park in the field just inside the gate. There is plenty of room to turn and park.
To enter the XC field
Follow the track down the field, go through the gateway at the bottom, bear left and follow the track across the field and through the gateway into the XC field.
