There is a Nature Reserve and flood plain named Waterlea Meadow lying between Norwich Road and Waterlea. It is split by a meandering stream and has several ponds and footpaths. The stream is largely fed from the lake at
Tilgate Park and in times of heavy rain often overflows onto the paths.
National Cycle Route 20 passes through Furnace Green, entering via Tilgate Drive from
Three Bridges, to the north, at the point where it passes over the Horsham railway line and continuing south into Tilgate Forest en route for
Brighton. Part of it also forms a section of the
Avenue Verte (Greenway) long-distance cycling route from London to Paris which branches off towards
East Grinstead via the
Worth Way as part of
NCR 21. Crawley's only full scale theatre is located on the northern edge of Furnace Green.
The Hawth takes its name from the large area of woodland to its rear. ==Health==
