While it's true that Crawley is not as pretty as most of West Sussex, it still has its attractions. Crawley, like all the new towns, has plenty of open space, including Tilgate Park, which includes a nature centre and large swathes of lovely woodland. The different public spaces are linked by the Crawley Millennium Greenway, - essentially a grandly named cycle path - but a fine leisure facility nonetheless. Just outside the southern edge of Crawley, Buchan Country Park is a large area of woodland and heathland carved out of St Leonard's Forest and a good place for a walk and a breath of fresh air. Crawley is also a major regional shopping centre and contains good sports and leisure facilities including nightclubs, the Hawth theatre and the newish K2 sports centre.
