To give substance to the 'shop locally and farm foods campaign' the countryside centre is featuring leaflets from a newly opened adjacent farm shop in conjunction with CPRE leaflets. A number of people have already visited the shop.

The popular visitors centre has a museum with many hands-on exhibits. These explain how the Downland landscape was formed, the rich and varied wildlife this habitat supports and how man has worked the land over the centuries. The visitor centre is open 10am to 4pm daily throughout the summer and weekends only during the winter. Various exhibitions are held at the Centre throughout the year.
