Outwood Lane, Surrey Outwood Lane is not a classified road, but it sees plenty of use as it connects the picture-book village of Outwood with the A25.  It is seen here  looking north in a quiet moment.

Bridleway alongside an oak wood, Surrey This lane is the western limb of a tangle of bridleways that straggle across country for many miles north and east of the village of Outwood.  This western section probably sees less use by riders than the main network, as it debouches onto the rather busy Outwood Lane, a motor road where, sadly, not all drivers show proper courtesy to equestrians.

Lane past Tanglewood Stables, Surrey Go for a ramble or cycle ride in this part of Surrey and you will very likely see more horses than cows, sheep or even motor cars.  And most of the animals will be in first-class condition as befits this important horse-breeding and rearing area.

Houses in Terra Cotta Road, Surrey Terra Cotta Road leads westwards off Tilburstow Hill Road.  It continues past these houses to end in a small business park.  These houses are probably the nearest you will get to 'affordable' houses in the Godstone area - but you will get a shock if you enquire the price.
