A small area of parkland that occupies the site of the dismantled Kemp Town Railway. Having crossed Hartington Road on a bridge the line headed south through a deep cutting to the northern portal of the Kemp Town Tunnel. Since the dismantling much of the cutting has been filled and landscaped into the park. The section in view was the rough location of Hartington Road Halt which opened in 1906 and closed in 1911. The original access path from Hartington Road to the station remains in use as an entrance to the park. In the distance is the suburb of Hollingdean with Hollingbury Castle on the peak to the right.
