A cul de sac off Gravelye Lane built in the grounds of Gravelye House, whose drive is on the left, in the 1990s. White Gables is the house at the far end.

Viewed from its junction with Gravelye Lane. Built in the early 1970s to provide access to America Lane replacing the former route which is now a bridleway.

The lane originally ran west from Gravelye Lane then along what is now Hanbury Lane turned south down what is now Barn Cottage Lane then west again to provide access to a smallholder's settlement originally known as The Colony, nicknamed America by locals which eventually stuck. The cottages were pulled down in 1944 being part of land transferred from Lindfield to Haywards Heath in 1934 and replaced with a new housing estate and a rerouting of the road. This section was downgraded to the status of a bridleway in the late 1960s with the construction of Westlands Road to the north. The creator of 'America', William Allen, lived in Gravelye House, out of shot to the right, built for him in 1825-26. On the left is what was originally Gravelye Cottage built at the same time as the neighbouring house and now subdivided into two dwellings; Gravelye Cottage to the west and Overmist, originally known as Gravelye Cottage East, to the east.

The original lane that linked Graveleye Lane with the early 19th century allotment colony later known as America. This section from the former down to The Hollow is now a bridleway. To the right are the outbuildings of Graveleye House built in 1826 for William Allen, the founder of America which was designed to enable the poor to become self sufficient through their allotments.

The bridleway travels a short distance to The Hollows.
