KEEP THE RIDGE GREEN
This attractive public open space now forms part of the boundary to the new South Downs National Park and is situated north of the built up area of the city of Brighton and Hove. It is also a Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI). The Green, as open downland, once formed a corner of West Blatchington Estate and Coney Hill Woodland walk was a sheep grazing slope connected to Patcham Place Estate. It is owned by the City Council who acquired it in the 1930’s along with many other urban fringe sites.
