Dist:0.7km north<br/>The Weald Way is a major footpath route following in places an ancient trackaway across the Weald. Here the route heads straight for the signpost then turns left and heads north. The footpath to the south heads to Piper's Farm. The straight hedges suggest an enclosure at some point.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>The land in the Weald is often broken by fast running streams forming small ravines and gullies known as Ghylls often surrounded by the remaining woodland on the steep sides. Here the Weald Way crosses an unnamed tributary of Framfield Stream the walker having to negotiate a steep set of steps on either side.

Dist:1.0km southwest<br/>Old Whyly is a 17th Century manor house. It is mentioned numerous times in The Diary of Thomas Turner 1754-1765, in East Hoathly. Thomas Turner frequently visited Jeremiah French, the tenant farmer, at Whyly mostly for evenings playing cards and heavy drinking. He invariably returned home inebriated and on several occasions his wife had to be carried home on a gate!
