 Batchelors
Farm comprises of 33 acres of pasture land on the south side of Burgess Hill.
It was purchased by the Town Council in 1993 for the benefit and
enjoyment of Burgess Hill residents. The land purchase extended the Green Crescent around the
town to prevent further expansion of housing into the countryside and to
preserve it for future generations. With
sweeping views across open countryside to the South Downs,
Batchelors Farm has become a popular beauty spot and is well used by local
people.
