Pound Hill North & Forge Wood sits on the northern edge of Crawley in West Sussex, combining the older suburban neighbourhood of Pound Hill North with the more recent Forge Wood housing and woodland scheme. The area is popular with commuters thanks to easy road links and its closeness to Gatwick Airport and the London commuter belt, while still offering generous green space and newly planted community woodland that gives Forge Wood a distinct semi-rural feel.
Locally there is a mix of long‑standing residents and newer families attracted by modern housing, schools and play areas; local shops and community groups help knit the neighbourhoods together. The contrast between established Pound Hill streets and the planned, landscape-led development of Forge Wood gives the area both historical roots and a noticeably contemporary, family‑orientated character.
