Dist:0.2km<br/>The name of the field according to the 1840 tithe map. The name suggests some antiquity as it was normally given to areas cleared of woodland most likely an extension of nearby Randolph's Copse seen beyond the hedge on the far side which marks the Newtimber-Hurstpierpoint parish boundary.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Taken from the bridleway that runs along the foot of Wolstonbury Hill. The roof belongs Foxhole Cottage and beyond that is Randolph's Copse.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Once fronted onto the A23 but since an early 1990s realignment now on a defunct part of that route. The path to the right is part of the N20 cycle route which runs alongside the trunk road.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The name of this field according to the 1840 tithe map which has since been detached from the rest of a much larger field following a realignment of the A23 in the early 1990s. The new course is beyond the hedge to the right whilst the line of trees on the left marks with a small embankment beyond is the old course part of which is now used as a drive for Star House. The field still has a layer of frost being in the shadow of Wolstonbury Hill to the east, the peak straight ahead is Round Hill.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The main London-Brighton road through Sussex. The section in view is the new straightened route opened in the early 1990s, the old route ran to the right then crossed over the new road at London Road Cottages and travelled in a north west direction towards the Muddleswood Crossroads, Albourne and Sayers Common. The path on the left is the N20 cycle route.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Marked on a 1975 OS map as Devonshire Villa and fronted onto the A23 until the early 1990s when this part was straightened. Be interested to know what the barn was once used for, the boarding at the front seeming to suggest some previous use. The bridleway to Wolston bury Hill and Pyecombe runs along the course of the old A23 and turns up the drive to the left which also leads to Star Cottage.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The name of this section of the field according to the 1840 tithe map that has since been expanded to include The Links to the south. The field boundary has only been removed in the last thirty years. Locks Green Farm can be seen in the distance on the right.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This must have been last worked a long time ago, as the beech growing in the bottom has a trunk diameter of about a metre.
