Broadwater is near Worthing; This is the northern end of a 'Greenway'.

Elliotts has the appearance of an ante-bellum southern (US) mansion; pity about the greenhouse.
Horses are trained here.
Sedwick castle in the very private gounds was built in the reign of King Stephen.

A folksong collected at Monk's gate, 'Our captain cried all hands'provided the tune for 'He who would valiant be' 

The ride passes along the outside of the Leonardslee estate.  Watch out for wallabies! 

This is iron country. Iron cast at the furnace (Slaugham) was hammered of its impurities. Ponds provided power for the waterwheels and their hammers. Read the plaque by Hawkins pond GR216292

Pass under the Ironbridge and you enter Horsham's traffic system where you will have plenty of time to repent of all your earthly sins
