On Crawley’s southern border, Tilgate Park is a former country estate across more than 2,000 acres of sumptuous countryside in the High Weald. It’s a joy to navigate the park on foot, on trails through fragrant pine forest and next to the expansive Tilgate Lake. There, “Tilgate Park Watersports” hires out equipment for kayaking, canoeing, paddleboa...
A few short miles south into the High Weald, Nymans is a National Trust property with a large but somehow snug garden surrounding the partial ruins of a Revivalist house. The estate was bought by the German Messel family in the 1890s and the garden was planted over the next 60 years. The house meanwhile was given a peculiar blend of Regency and Med...
You can de-stress in 170 acres of the High Weald, a couple of minutes from Crawley’s Town Centre. This Green Flag-winning park has a mix of birch woodland, meadow, heath and a lake, and if you go quietly you should see lots of roe deer. In spring you’ll hear the calls of chiff chaffs and willow warblers, which stop in the park on their migrations, ...
In the post war years the British aviation industry went into overdrive, with brands like Avro, Hawker and Gloster producing early jets and breaking speed records. The Gatwick Aviation Museum documents those boom years and in 2016 opened a new building. Outside you’ll be greeted by a propeller powered Avro Shackleton Mk3 PH3 and Percival Prince T1,...
Even though Crawley is a New Town, there are some exciting bits of history in the contingent villages. Worth to the east features one of the oldest churches in continuous use in the UK. This is a rare opportunity to admire genuine Anglo-Saxon architecture, visible in the chancel arch (the largest Saxon chancel arch in the country) and the apse, whi...
The Ifield neighbourhood, a former village a couple of miles northwest of the town centre, has another captivating old church. Also Grade I-listed, St Margaret’s has a chancel dating to the 1200s but at the west end is a strange-looking tower from a Victorian restoration. In the east end of the nave, look for the wonderful 14th-century recumbent st...
Slightly removed from Crawley’s town centre, this performing arts complex has a beautiful location in almost 40 acres of woodland. The Hawth opened in 1992 is mostly a receiving theatre with an exceedingly diverse programme for its 855-seater main auditorium. There’s anything from opera, classical music and ballet to musicals, sing along film scree...
In the lovely confines of Tilgate Park there’s a small zoo that has separate paid entry. Tilgate Nature Centre houses more than 100 different animal species, and participates in international breeding programmes for Asian short-clawed otters and Utila spiny-tailed Iguanas. In 2018 a new Americas Zone opened for the park’s flock of macaws, its capyb...
An almost mandatory excursion into the High Weald from Crawley, Wakehurst is a sublime Elizabethan house in more than 500 acres of botanical gardens. The estate is managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and your time will be spent ambling through magical designed landscapes. In the collections are native UK plants as well as exotic species; the...
There’s more aviation heritage at the Wings Museum, set in a former barn, which you’d be forgiven for mistaking for a hangar. At the heart of the displays is the headline exhibit – the complete fuselage of a C-47 Dakota that was involved in D-Day in 1944. This was used for the filming of the HBO Series Band of Brothers. Wings Museum is dedicated to...
