Part of the Crawley section normally goes through Tilgate Forest, where it emerges near the bottom of Parish Lane, although this route has sometimes been diverted while the Forestry Commission were working in Tilgate Forest. The route continues along Brighton Road towards Handcross.
London to Brighton Bike Ride

The World’s Shortest Cycle Lane
