About

Tilgate is a residential neighbourhood situated in the south of Crawley. The area is largely defined by its proximity to the expansive Tilgate Park, a significant green space that borders it to the south and east. Housing consists primarily of post-war estates with a mix of semi-detached and detached homes, along with some newer developments. Local amenities are centred around the Tilgate neighbourhood shopping parade, providing essential retail and services for the community.

The area's character is heavily influenced by the park itself, which contains Tilgate Lake and a large forest. This provides extensive walking trails, sports facilities, and a nature centre within easy reach for residents. The main road network, including the A23 and A264, offers connections to Crawley town centre and Gatwick Airport. A local landmark is the historic Tilgate Lodge, a former gatehouse to the park estate, which stands near the main entrance.
