"Spring has arrived – and the sun has melted the ice on the mill pond. Its rays reach to the bottom of the pond – and tickle awake the little water sprite, who has been hibernating with his mermaid parents. And what's the first thing a curious little water sprite does? Spring cleaning with his mother? Repairing the broken roof of the water sprite's house? Wrong! Of course, the little water sprite's first priority is to meet his old friend, Cyprinus the carp... The little water sprite isn't quite as cheeky here as in the 1955 original – but Daniel Napp's little spring story has been enchantingly illustrated. A magical, endearing, and ageless reading experience for children ages 4 and up." The Stiftung Lesen (Reading Foundation) reviews a four-volume sequel to the popular "The Little Water Sprite" by Otfried Preußler (1923 to 2013), which guides children through the seasons in this children's book series.

Rudyard Kipling's estate in East Sussex is a wonderful place that is managed and maintained by the National Trust. Here you can stroll through the orchard, the vegetable garden and the formal garden. Then you can visit the house from 1634 and the old mill, where Kipling had a generator installed early on to supply the house with electricity. Here they are trying to make the garden a perfect place for insects and especially for bees. To this end, a lot of experimentation is being done with flower meadows - you can wander through at least one of them during your visit. The house looks very grand and elegant, but turns out to be a gloomy block inside - as is often the case with these old, historic buildings. Here you can find more information about Bateman's: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/sussex/batemans

Slight uphill on the way back to the campsite, if you’re looking for accessibility. No gates or anything tho.

Seems to be angling here, but you’d need to sort permissions.

A very masculine house, low ceilings and quite dark. Book lovers will get their money's worth! The garden is famous for its pear trees, and now in April the tulips are blooming beautifully. We didn't find the mill particularly interesting - even though it is highly praised - but the house and garden were beautiful.
