View south towards High Hurst Copse This photo was taken from the aptly named Park Lane - aptly because there are a lot of places to park along here, which is helpful from a walker&#039;s point of view.

Iron-rich stream and drain I think this stream is called Jobscastle Gill, according to the map. This is the third photo I&#039;ve taken recently of an iron-rich stream in the Sussex Weald. The previous two, however, were in Ashdown Forest - further to the east. There was an iron industry in this region from Roman times until the early 18th century.
