Crossing Jane Murray Way from the footpath.

The highway starts as College Lane in Hurstpierpoint then heads north changing to Malthouse Lane at the junction with Chalkers Lane next to Hurstpierpoint College. Originally the road headed eastwards and ended at the junction with West Street and Royal George Road. However, since the 1990s Burgess Hill has extended westwards into the old parish of Hurstpierpoint, a new bypass, the jane Murray Way, was built and new housing estates sprung up on the eastern side of it. As a consequence, Malthouse Lane as a through road, ends on the bypass, though it continues eastward beyond.

The Pook Bourne Stream running West from Burgess Hill.

The path to the left drops to a small ford on the Pook Bourne Stream.

Part of Burgess Hill's attempt to provide public access to green areas on the edge of town. The crescent runs from Bedelands Farm nature reserve in the north then follows the western border of the town to Batchelors Farm nature reserve in the south. The access includes bridleways, footpaths and open access land. Here the bridleway drops to the left to ford Pook Bourne whilst the footpath runs over it to the right. Beyond is Jane Murray Way, the A273, a bypass built in the late 1990s, followed by the western edge of the town itself. The scheme was set up around 2003 and implemented over the past couple of years, the bridleway surface was laid in November.

The name of the cul de sac that runs off Malthouse Lane which was built during the 1990s. The estate is located within a former field called Upper Cow Pasture according to Hurstpierpoint's 1842 tithe map and the old shape of the field can still be made out by the trees that have been left standing in aerial photographs.

The name of the field according to Hurstpierpoint's 1842 tithe map that is now part of the Burgess Hill Green Circle Network a series of open spaces around the edge of the town open to the public. The field, named after its shape, is wedged between Malthouse lane to the west and north, Pook Bourne to the south and the jane Murray Way, the A273, to the east. It is in the process of being planted.
