Map of the UK

Tinsley Green is a small hamlet on the edge of the borough of Crawley in West Sussex, England, sitting just west of Gatwick Airport. It still feels distinctly rural, with country lanes, common land and a scatter of older cottages and farm buildings that contrast with the nearby suburban and industrial edges of Crawley.

Historically a tiny farming community, Tinsley Green has been reshaped by the growth of the airport and the town, so the local economy and daily life are influenced by airport-related employment and light industry while a small village character remains. That mix of quiet, green spaces and proximity to one of the UK’s busiest transport hubs makes it an interesting spot for anyone curious about the meeting of countryside and modern infrastructure.
