Forest Green

Forest Green is 2 miles north-west of Ockley where an east-west minor route makes a large dog-leg turn and is joined by lesser roads from north and south. The feature of the place is its large expanse of common land, which is skirted by the roads. This green slopes down gently to the south and there is a small pond at the southern end. Around the green is a scattering of buildings and especially on the north side a strong belt of deciduous trees, which define the green and give some sense of enclosure to the large open area.
