クローリーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

These are beautiful and great fun to walk across, I have been visiting this park for years, however they can be slippery and when I visited last week two or three were submerged under water, probably due to the recent heavy rainfall. Therefore I’d recommend high sided waterproof shoes with good grip and sturdiness like hiking boots, possibly wellies, and trousers you dont mind geting a tad wet or muddy. Or just visit on a sunny day and wear shorts!

Tilgate Lake is the biggest of the three lakes in Tilgate Park. It's a popular watersports lake with lots of other activities happening on and around it. Human history here goes back to the Mesolithic period when flint tools were made here. More recently, the area was a royal deer park in the 1600s and then Tilgate Manor Estate from 1647. More recently, BT owned it and the lake was sold for private fishing. Crawley Urban District Council purchased the area in the 1960s, and it's now open to the public.

Don't forget to bring your Mountain Bike!

The greenway has somewhat curious tunnels that come in handy on rainy days. The road in general is in very good condition.

There are some really good trails in and around Tilgate Park. These include a section of National Cycle Route 20 as well us some less well known sections of technical singletrack, which used to be promoted by the Forestry Commision. Although the FC doesn’t promote them anymore and they’re not as well maintained as they once were, they are still there to be found by those with the inclination.
