 The British Wildlife Centre lies in the east of the parish, and has a collection of over 40 species of wildlife.The centre, developed on the site of a former dairy farm, opened in 1997, and participates in captive breeding programmes.The parish except for its far north, yielding sedimentary ironstone, is on the Wealden Clay and was until the 16th century forested, rather than interspersed with six woodlands as it is today.
