Greenbroom Hill is a prominent hill located in the county of Sussex, England. Situated in the South Downs, it is part of the larger South Downs National Park, which spans across several counties in southeastern England. The hill is known for its picturesque landscapes, vibrant flora, and historical significance.

Rising to an elevation of approximately 250 meters (820 feet), Greenbroom Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Its slopes are covered with lush green grass, dotted with wildflowers during the spring and summer months. The hill is also home to a variety of wildlife, including rabbits, foxes, and various species of birds.

One of the notable features of Greenbroom Hill is an ancient hill fort located on its summit. This Iron Age fort, known as Chanctonbury Ring, dates back over 2,000 years and consists of a circular earthwork enclosure. The fort offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich history and is a popular destination for history enthusiasts and hikers alike.

The hill is accessible via several footpaths and trails, making it a popular spot for outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, and picnicking. Its close proximity to nearby towns and villages also makes it easily accessible for visitors. Whether it's exploring the hill fort, admiring the panoramic views, or simply enjoying a peaceful stroll, Greenbroom Hill offers a tranquil and scenic escape for nature lovers and history buffs alike.

Stew Pond, adjacent to bridleway, St Leonards Park Estate, Near Horsham, West Sussex. The original purpose of this pond (and an adjacent pond) is not obvious, but its proximity to the main estate buildings may mean that it was used as water storage or a fish pond to supply the estate. Relatively overgrown and unused these days!

Forest Grange, in the heart of St Leonards Forest, Near Horsham, West Sussex Earlier maps (e.g. 1993) show this as the site of Forest Grange School. Later maps have dropped school from the name. It didn't looked like it was being used as a school at the time the picture was taken.

Track Junction in St Leonard Forest. Part of the High Weald Landscape Trail The main bridleway through the middle of the forest intersects with several public footpaths.

Tattleton's ford Tattleton's ford is on the High Weald Landscape trail that goes from Horsham across the north of Sussex to Rye. Being on a bridleway that swoops down from Carter's Lodge to the Grouse road it makes a pleasant feature (keep to the left). Tattleton's farm once stood just over the ford, to the right.

Mick Mills Race, St Leonards Forest Mick Mills (or is it Miles?) race. Mick, a local braggart, boasted he could outrace anyone. The Devil took up the challenge. The resulting contest, which Mick won, left a course through the forest on which no tree would grow. Being gravelled and a forestry access route probably helps.
