Footpath to Slays Wood? According to the map it should be but no sign or entrance to the field could be found. The field layouts do not agree with the map either. Most of the land around here is owned by Hesmond Stud a horse breeders who have fenced out the fields and diverted other footpaths though they are not too well signposted coming from the direction of Old Whyley. This looks up towards the peak of a hill marked 73 on the OS Map.

Edit: Five years on the footpath is now marked out, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2882890">TQ5117 : Footpath to Annandale Farm</a>.

Bentley Wood There are two Bentley Woods in the vicinity of Halland. One to the west near to Bentley House and this one which is to the east lining the northern part of the A22 and road to East Hoathly. Whether both were once one I do not know.

Hartfield Farm House, Heathfield Road Possibly the old farm house for Hartfield Farm which is south of the hamlet on the Lewes Road. If you look closely to the left of the centre upstairs window, over the door, is the coat of arms of the Pelham family, the old Dukes of Newcastle, who owned substantial holdings in this part of the Weald, including Laughton Manor and nearby Halland Manor now Halland Park Farm. The house is now next to the roundabout on the western side of the Heathfield Road.
