60 aerial images of varying focal length taken on 2 February 2025 from the top of Wimlands Hill close to Wimlands Farm of views across Horsham, Crawley, Gatwick and the surrounding countryside.
Some of the photos have been annotated. Those looking south and west towards Horsham are not good quality due to the low sun and winter haze, but have been included for interest and completeness.
