Dist:0.3km<br/>There are many Decoy Wood's in Sussex, some get their name from duck hunting where similar ponds were set up near to each other to attract ducks, others through the smuggling trade where routes and ponds were set up in order to confuse the pursuing revenue men.

Dist:0.6km<br/>A minor road that begins near Glyndebourne and reaches its northern junction on the B2124. The building on the right is Heron House a former pub called the Railway Inn that opened in the 1840s and was still marked on a 1969 map as inn though I have no idea when it closed. The name does not derive from a nearby railway inn as there wasn't one within a five mile radius but probably came from those that were employed to build the lines north of Lewes many of whom came from the Ringmer area. The building itself is in TQ4712 as the grid line runs down the eastern side of the lane.
