A view of the suburb from Benfield Valley Golf Course. The original settlement of Hangleton was deserted in the middle ages leaving just the church, manor and a few isolated farms in the area, Many of the latter failed in the interwar years and often the lure of property developers' money proved irresistible to the struggling farmers with the result that suburbs such as Hangleton began appearing on the eve of World War Two. Much of the valley below was completed post 1945 specifically in the 1960s and 70s when the last fields disappeared for good.

The church has good views in most directions except east.

Geographically this is actually the southern part of Benfield Hill which has been split from the rest by the A27 which lurks in the cutting beyond the bushes in the distance. The footpath begins at Hangleton Lane, crosses the by-pass then Benfield Hill before heading north to join the Monarch's Way.

Used by walkers and golfers, the public footpath linking Hangleton Lane with the Monarch's Way to the north of Benfield Hill, whilst the golfers using the Benfield Valley Golf Course have five holes to contend with south of the bridge and another four to the north.

Running parallel to the A27 which lies in a cutting below the bushes to the right. The course was opened in the early 1990s using some of the fairways vacated by the West Hove Golf Club which relocated to a new course north of the newly opened by-pass which had been built through part of that course along with a link road. Benfield Valley Golf Course has nine holes, five south of A27 and four north of it. Valley is a bit of a misnomer here as this hole is on the southern part of Benfield Hill which was also split in two by the by-pass.
