Front Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Sussex, England. It covers an area of approximately 50 acres and is situated on the outskirts of a small village. The wood is predominantly made up of deciduous trees, such as oak, beech, and birch, creating a diverse and vibrant landscape.

The woodland is known for its rich biodiversity, providing a habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna. It is home to various species of birds, including woodpeckers, thrushes, and owls, making it a popular spot for birdwatching enthusiasts. Small mammals like foxes, badgers, and squirrels can also be spotted in the area.

Front Wood offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It provides ample opportunities for leisurely walks, picnics, and nature exploration. The wood has well-maintained footpaths that meander through the trees, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

In spring, the woodland floor is carpeted with bluebells, creating a breathtaking sight and attracting many nature lovers. During autumn, the trees display a stunning array of colors, turning the wood into a vibrant canvas of reds, oranges, and yellows.

Front Wood is easily accessible, with a small parking area available for visitors. It is managed by the local council, ensuring its preservation and protection for future generations to enjoy.

Pond and house in the Weald This isn't a hammer pond. Hammer ponds were constructed on streams and dammed in order to provide power at all times; this one doesn't have streams connected to them making them useless for operating the wheels that powered the blast furnaces. The most likely scenario is that both were dug to get something out of the ground, either marl to fertilise nearby fields or to dig up any stray bits of sandstone that lie in the area in order to build something with. They are also next to a highway which would have enabled easy transportation to either fields or nearby settlements. Description thanks to another member.
