Brickyard Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Sussex, England. Situated in the heart of the South Downs National Park, this woodland covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse ecosystem.

The wood is predominantly composed of native tree species, including oak, beech, and ash, which create a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a wide range of flora and fauna. The forest floor is covered in a thick carpet of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the wood.

Visitors can enjoy a network of well-maintained footpaths that wind their way through the woodland, allowing them to explore the area at their own pace. These trails offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside and provide opportunities for nature enthusiasts to spot a variety of wildlife, such as deer, foxes, and numerous bird species.

Additionally, the wood has a fascinating history, with remnants of an old brickworks site still visible within its boundaries. The bricks produced here were once used in the construction of local buildings, adding an interesting historical dimension to the woodland.

Overall, Brickyard Wood offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and historical significance, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike.

London Road, Ashington Looking north from the southern end of the village. Once, as its name suggests, this was the main A24 London to Worthing road. Now the traffic has been diverted away onto a bypass and the main street has been traffic-calmed. In recent years the village has developed from being a straggle along the main road into a substantial dormitory village. Surprisingly, the church is on the outskirts of the village. This may be because a Roman building, possibly a villa, existed at Church Farm and maybe the original church was associated with it.

Ashington The A24 underpass at the south end of London Road looking south. The bypass skirts the eastern side of the village and joins up with the original main road just south of this point. The road under the underpass is the road to Hole Street and Wiston and also links up with the southbound carriageway.
