Carriage Drive to Oakwood House This track is the former carriage drive to Oakwood House at the top of the hill. The drive begins at the public road at Boxhurst, about 1km to the west, and ascends at a very gentle average gradient of about 1:15, before arriving at a now disused gate into Oakwood House. This section here is the best preserved, now briefly forming part of the North Downs Way as footpath Brockham 583. It is still noticeably metalled (i.e. having a stone surface).
