Bewl Water Vineyard in Sussex abuts the largest body of fresh water in South East England and its gentle southerly slopes of Wadhurst clay create a unique growing environment and a frost-free microclimate.

Located within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the landscape retains its medieval character of small irregular-shaped fields and scattered farmsteads, often grazed by sheep or Sussex cattle. Bewl Water Vineyard has a long history of both fruit and hop farming - its oast house's triple roundels still rotate in the warm winds.

The fertile clay soil has a slightly higher than average iron content with nearby Wadhurst having been at the centre of England's iron industry in the Middle Ages.
