Hedgecourt Lake, Surrey Hedgecourt Lake, also known as Domewood Lake, lies just north of the A264.  Presumably it is used for fishing, although I did not see any anglers there - just plenty of water birds and a sleepy swan.

Farm buildings, East Park Farm, Surrey This farm is reached down a small lane off the north side of the B2028.  Incidentally, geographers working in this gridsquare should be warned not to go onto the notorious Plantation Estate, where strangers, especially those with cameras, are very far from welcome.

Chithurst Lane, Surrey The status of this lane south of Chithurst Farm is not known to me.  There are no public footpath or bridleway markings on the OS map, where it is just shown as a 'white' road.  Whether it actually emerges anywhere at the southern end I do not know.  As can be seen from the photograph, it is barely motorable.

The Hedgehog Inn, Copthorne Formerly the Effingham Arms the Hedgehog is now a restaurant pub and has acquired the adjacent house (in the left of shot) to provide guest rooms. In a sense it's assumed the function of the old-fashioned inn.

Stubpond Lane A minor road leading south to Felbridge off West Park Road (B2028), but (in part) not maintained as fit for motor vehicles (although perfectly passable if you don't mind a few potholes).

Chithurst Lane The lane is a no-through road for motor vehicles, but still maintained by the county council as far as Brick Barns Farm, useable if you don't mind the odd pothole (see also <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/212606">TQ3341 : Chithurst Lane, Surrey</a>). Beyond Brick Barns Farm is a bridleway which connects with West Park Road (B2028), although the entire route was perhaps once a through road. For a minor country lane, it cuts a remarkably wide swathe through the fields: nearly 30m between the field boundaries on either side.
