St George's Retreat
Initially it was set up as a retreat for the mentally ill, nowadays it is a care home successfully run by the Augustinian Care. And is soon to be very much expanded by the addition of many new homes for the over 60's. A sort of ideal retirement village set in 250 acres of Sussex farmland. www.stgeorgespark.co.uk/

Willow Tunnel, Ditchling Common Country Park
Made with goat willow which is very supple and can be bent to grow in a particular direction. The path within leads from one of the trails towards an open air classroom next to a newly excavated small pond which is hoped will be used by the dragonflies which are prevalent on the common.
