The valley is the name given to a strip of green that runs from the A270 northwards separating the suburbs of Portslade and Hangleton. It continues north of the by-pass until it rises near Dyke Farm. Prior to 1991 this was West Hove Golf Course which had been established in 1910 but had to relocate when the new by-pass split the old course in two. The southern end of the course which also contained the old clubhouse is now a playing field.
