26 miles to Brighton, 25 to Westminster, but the Brighton distance is altered these days by deviations around Gatwick Airport and at various points to the south.

Close up of the cast iron milepost in Image This of a standard design for mileposts along this route, which was built in 1816 as a direct route from Gatton Point, north of Redhill, to Povey Cross, near Gatwick. The post shows the distances to/from Brighton and Westminster Bridge on the two faces, but in a different order according to the direction of travel. On the top face is the locality (here the Parish of Horley).

Lychgate for St Bartholomew's Church (see Image). The lychgate dates from 1903, built by Arthur Jennings, and commemorates those killed in the Boer War - a carved inscription on the south side reads "To the glory of God and in memory of our fellow parishioners who fell in the South African War 1899-1902", with their names (A W Carling, C C Sargent, and J T Turnbull) inscribed on both sides of the lychgate, along with those of the Vicar and Churchwardens at the time (Rev H T Lewis, B W Parsons and F T Glover). It is grade Ic listed. In the background can be seen the spire of the church.

The A23 (London Road) here crosses the River Mole. The path in view is part of the Millennium Trail, a circular walk which follows the Gatwick Stream through the Riverside Garden Park before returning along the distinctly unappealing footway alongside the A23 for a kilometre or so.
