Benfield Valley Golf Course
This is the ninth hole of nine on a course that was laid out in the early 1990s using some of the older abandoned fairways of West Hove Golf Course. The latter relocated to land north of the A27 when that road was constructed having been split in two by it and lost some more land to the Hangleton Link Road. The view takes in Foredown Tower on the left and Southwick Hill in the distance on the right.

Fox Way
A road built in the 1990s to link the new Hangleton Link Road, the A293, to the suburb of Mile Oak. Not the best road to go down after 8-10 inches of snow fell overnight though it didn't stop one idiot BMW driver bombing up it at 40 miles an hour whilst talking on his phone.

Crest Way
Built in the 1990s on the site of the former Foredown Hospital which had been opened in 1883 to treat infectious diseases. The hospital continued in use until the 1980s and was demolished in 1989 leaving only the former water tower, added in 1909, as a reminder.

Underneath the Arches
This path requires some bending of the knees to duck under the low lying foliage. The chimney is the only remaining structure left standing of a row of late Victorian agricultural labourer's cottages that were built on the site of Benfield Manor Farm that was demolished in 1871.

Entrance to the Benfield Valley Golf Course
This 9 hole course uses some of the old West Hove Golf Course holes.
With the building of the Brighton Bypass and the subsequent link road, the West Hove Golf Club were relocated to north of the bypass. The former clubhouse was south of the present Sainsbury's car park.

Foredown Road
Little more than a byway here, the road has its origins as an access route to the Downs from old village at Portslade. Today it continues beyond the A27 as a bridleway that heads north to Fulking Hill.
