Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 5 Apr 2009
Small hamlet between Amberley and Rackham viewed from Amberley Mount. The field boundary running north-south marks the boundary of the parishes of Amberley and Parham and may account for the name of the hamlet perhaps being the gated entrance to one or other of the above named as the lane is the old main road from Storrington which was superseded by the B2139 in the late 18th/early 19th century. Beyond Cross Gates is Amberley Wild Brooks once an area of marshland now mostly recovered for agriculture.
