Faygate Station, Faygate, West Sussex Not pretty, but functional. The small village of Faygate is surprisingly industrial (easy access to the railway and main A264 road probably the reason) for its location and the station fits in with the theme. On the Line between Horsham and Crawley (London Victoria - Littlehampton/Bognor Regis)

Field adjacent to bridleway near Carylls Lea junction, Faygate, West Sussex This corner of the field is in the SW corner of the grid square, but there were several similar open fields on either side of the public right of way (which runs along a metalled farm track at this point). The view looks down across the wide shallow valley that the A264 Crawley-Horsham road runs through. In the distance, the large house of the Holmwood estate can just be made out on the far hillside. To the Left (E) of the field is a small wood. View taken looking SSE from the bridleway.

A carpet of Bluebells, Tower Rd Hyacinthoides non-scripta is a bulbous perennial plant, found in Atlantic areas from north-western Spain to the British Isles, and also frequently used as a garden plant. It is known in English as the common bluebell or simply bluebell. H. non-scripta is particularly associated with ancient woodland where it may dominate the understorey to produce carpets of violet–blue flowers in "bluebell woods", but also occurs in more open habitats in western regions. It is protected under UK law, and in some other parts of its range.
