North Heath breathes under a wide, Sussex sky where the heavy air of the Weald gathers in the quiet hollows of the landscape. It lies 5.6 miles east of Petworth (from Petworth: bearing 93°T, OS grid TQ 068 213), and is situated north-east of Codmore Hill village. The geography here is defined by a deep, ancient moisture, as much of the land falls within the protected boundaries of the Upper Arun SSSI. Beneath the surface, the soil holds the ghosts of older occupants, with the Romano-British Villa at Borough Farm resting just a short distance to the south. The light in North Heath possesses a peculiar, silvery quality that seems to cling to the hedgerows and the low-hanging branches of the oaks. Travellers passing through these lanes might find the silence heavy with the weight of centuries, undisturbed by the frantic pace of the modern world. Every turn of the road reveals a terrain that has remained stubbornly resistant to the intrusions of industry, preserving a rugged, unvarnished character. This corner of West Sussex offers a solitary peace, where the horizon remains defined by the slow, deliberate growth of the trees rather than the ambition of man.
