Character Areas
The
master
plan
shows
what
is
left
of
Worth
Park
today
compared
with
the
historical
map
above.
Crawley
Borough
Council
and
our
Landscape
Architects,
Allan
Scott,
have
subdivided Worth Park into seven distinct areas :
The Upper and Italian Terrace (1)
Formal
Gardens
(Camellia
Walk
surrounding
the
Sundial,
Dutch
and Fountain Garden (2)
Forecourt with Rockery (including old carriage turn circle) (3)
Ridley’s Court (the former stable quadrangle) (4)
The Lawns (including
Crawley Croquet Club
) (5)
The Central Parkland (6)
The Lake and Woodland (7)
Thanks
to
the
Lottery
Funding,
not
only
were
the
historical
features
restored
but
two
additional
items
have
been
instored
in
the Park, mainly for our younger visitors:
The Time Line Totem, in front of Ridley’s Court (8)
The Guernsey Cows (9)
All
character
areas
will
be
described
in
the
following
pages
in
due
course.
At
present,
refer
to
the
History
Page
