Google Maps

I searched Google Maps for a picture of Tanglewood. Put in Beresford Lane, Plumpton, Sussex, UK to get there. Then click the Satellite button in the top right hand corner.

The maps don't display properly on my machine (I think that it is a bug in the software) but it might work on yours. Worth a try anyway. I can see the house but not the whole of the lane -- it will only show a diagonal strip across my browser.

Some local surveys and reports on woodland

Tanglewood falls into the East Sussex council strategy on woodlands (PDF)

Although Tanglewood is not in the area covered by this Mid-Sussex report it has good reading and some history of Sussex woodlands. Ancient Woodland Survey (PDF)

Also here is the relevant section (Low Weald) of the East Sussex landscape assessment (PDF) that gives a broad context of woodland in the local environment

Today we went over to see Tanglewood. The bluebells were pushing through the ground a couple of inches and the daffodils mainly in patches down the far end were 6 inches or so high. We had a look where the shed used to be - just the brickwork for the base remains. Late winter sun shone through over the trees next door.

The cherries near the road have mostly all fallen down but some other plant (hornbeam) is growing in that area around 6' high. We atlked about a position for a new shed a bit further away from the fence and further in as it would have a nicer view of the little valley towards the far end.
