Overview

Very close to Tilgate Park, the cycle path and boardwalk across the large Mill Pond is a flat and accessible walk to watch the wildlife or have a picnic.

Transport & Parking

There seems to be access from several routes (through housing areas). There is a small car park we found which is not shown on google maps (but is on recent street view) for about 6-8 cars, off Gossops Drive (bottom right of the pond just before Eden Road). A cycle path leads to the pond. One accessible parking bay.

Access

All surfaces were flat and smooth cycle paths or walking paths. The board walk is planks but not very bumpy. There is a barrier to ensure only walkers go onto the board walk - which was just a couple of inches wider than my power chair. It took about ten minutes to reach the pond at a gentle pace from the car park. There are picnic benches.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

We saw a range of wildlife around the lake and not very busy.
