Dial Post
Dial Post is a hamlet just off the A24 north of Ashington in the upper Adur Valley.
The area was once a hive of activity with smouldering iron furnaces and fortunes being made with the river used to provide power and cooling too. As well as the carefully dammed river bed, the name of Hammer Farm to the north of Dial Post gives the game away.
The impressive Knepp Castle Estate with its Mill Pond, roaming deer and multitude of other grazing animals lies two kilometers north of Dial Post.
