Is it a boat? Is it a plane?

At the edge of Redhill Aerodrome. What on earth is a canal narrow boat doing here? The nearest navigable water is probably the River Wey at SU9844 : Farncombe Boathouse.

Burstow Lodge Cottage, Rookery Hill, Surrey

This building, although so named, seemed rather large to be categorised as a cottage, so I have classified it as a house.

'The Castle' public house, Miller's Lane, near Outwood, Surrey

Only a short distance east of the picture-book village of Outwood is this local pub, at which you can enjoy a meal as well as drink Adnam's Suffolk beers, some of the finest in England.

Orchard Farm Mobile Home Park, Woolborough Lane, Surrey

Woolborough Lane is a small remnant of the pre-motorway road network around here. It leads southwards from the main road (Green Lane), just west of the bridge across the M23.

North Lodge, Harewood House, Surrey

Many country-house lodges were built in very elaborate and decorative styles, but this one is much more utilitarian. It lies on the east side of the road connecting Outwood village with the A25.

St John the Baptist Church, Outwood

In the middle of the 1800s Alfred and Mary Lloyd were the owners of the Harewoods Estate, an extensive farm and forest area south of Lower Nutfield. They set about the process of creating a parish and providing a parish church – in the main for their employees. The church building was constructed in a plain 'lancet' style to a design by the celebrated architect, William Burges, who designed Cardiff Castle. In 1869 the church building was completed and dedicated with the creation of the parish of St John the Baptist, Outwood. The church comprises a nave of five bays and a chancel with a broad, square tower at the west end. This 'saddle-back' tower was added to the church in 1874 by W. P. Manning and contains, unusually, 4 bells. The church was listed grade 2 in September 2011.

Trimmed hedges

The final length of this bridleway down to the road at the gate is a well maintained, hedged track. This only extends a field's width to the corner of a wood. This good access is probably for sporting purposes.
