Dist:0.7km<br/>Near to Worth School and Abbey on the main road are these cottages. Local sandstone is used for much of the building in this locality. I wonder why they and the high ground are named Noddy !

Dist:0.9km<br/>Sussex has a large number of privately owned forests. Worthlodge Forest, part of the Paddockhurst estate, is one of them. Worthlodge has a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees, grown for timber production and as a home for game birds. Permission is also occasionally obtained to hold orienteering events. The mature woodlands are highly suitable for orienteering and are a favourite venue for local club, Southdowns Orienteers.
