This latest installment in an occasional series is a bit of an anomaly, and the title is a real misnomer as Buchan Country Park is far from secret (as you can see from the crowded car park) and its not even actually in Crawley. I think the entrance, visitor centre and a small amount of […]

More Target Hill

Here are a couple more photos I took at Target Hill earlier today. First of all another fungus shot, and then an attempt at getting a picture of a tree with the sun shining through it which is only partly successful. As ever, full-sized, high-resolution copies are on Flickr along with others I haven’t posted […]

Today I took a walk around Target Hill Open Space. I had not intended to: I was going to visit the mosque but when I got there the place was deserted, so I went for a walk to kill some time. I have to admit that I had never been to Target Hill before. It […]

Not exactly a secret. As you can see from the sign, it is part of Crawley’s ‘Greenway’, but its not the most trodden part, the spokes at Ifield and Tilgate are much more heavily visited.

Secret Crawley: No. 1 – Pease Pottage
October 16th, 2005 · 2 Comments · Life
This is a part of Crawley, actually a part of Broadfield, which often gets forgotten as its a little scrap of land separated from the rest of town by the A264. Its quite likely only by some historical fluke that it has ended up within Crawley’s boundaries instead of in Horsham district. But everyone has […]
