Cuckfield, like many villages in the High Weald of Sussex, sits on a high ridge. To the south it overlooks the Low Weald including Hurstpierpoint to the South Downs and the characteristic wooded "eyes" of Wolstonbury Hill, seen above in a zoomed photo' from the High Street.
I thought to share the reverse view -- from Wolstonbury Hill towards Cuckfield. Yesterday the weather conditions were conducive to such a shot.
Here it is below;
The Elizabethan house in the foreground is Danny House and the church like building in the middlegound is Hurstpierpoint College, a public school.
Cuckfield can be identified by the church spire with open fields in front.
