It is owned by the National Trust.[5] The National Trust initially purchased 28 acres of land in 1935, with funds raised via a public subscription. Chanctonbury District Council acquired the remaining 35 acres in 1959. Their successor, Horsham District Council, gifted the 35 acres to the National Trust in 1985.[5]

Most of this site is dry heath, but there are also areas of wet heath, scrub, bracken, woodland and grassland. Fauna include adders, lizards[5] and insects such as the Sulligton Crane fly.[6] Flora on the wet heath includes hare's-tail cottongrass and the insectivorous round-leaved sundew. Woodland birds include all three British species of woodpecker, treecreepers, long-tailed tits, nuthatches, nightingales and kestrels.[7]

Located on site are the remains of a 19th-century windmill on the south side of the Warren.[8] The windmill was destroyed by a fire in 1911.[5]

There is access to the site from Water Lane.[9]
