Nestled on the outskirts of Chichester, between the villages of Singleton and Upwaltham, the pretty village of East Dean lies in the scenic Upper Lavant Valley of the South Downs. This quaint settlement, steeped in history with traces of Celtic fields and Roman artifacts, has a timeless charm. It features a pond on the village green and a distinctive flint-walled pub called The Star and Garter. Surprisingly, despite its small size, East Dean proudly hosts a football team, a local institution founded over 130 years ago, competing in the West Sussex league.

The views over the water of Upper Pond are beautiful. Such a stunning place to stop for a while and take stock of your surroundings.

South pond is a historic and scenic pond in Midhurst, West Sussex, England. It is fed by two streams that were once the boundaries of Saxon settlements, and it forms the division between the oldest part of Midhurst and West Lavington. The pond was created in the mid-1100s by one of the medieval lords of Midhurst, who dammed the streams to make a breeding pool for fish. The pond has been used for various purposes over the centuries, such as milling, fulling, leather production, and entertainment. The pond is now a nature reserve and a popular spot for walking, fishing, and birdwatching. It is part of the South Downs National Park and has a rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The pond is also home to the South Pond Group, a voluntary community group that works to care for and improve the pond and its surroundings. The group organizes regular events, activities, and projects to engage the public and enhance the pond’s beauty and value.

The current mill building dates from around 1780, although mills and forges have been exploiting the Downs spring water for at least 800 years. The mill's historic water-powered milling machine has been restored to working condition. Burton Mill is open to visitors on the Sunday of the National Mills Weekend in May and the National Heritage Weekend in September.
