A private chapel at South Park Farm, listed grade II and occasionally used for public services.

A substantial old property near Godstone, connected via a bridleway to South Park itself

S K Camping and Leisure, Anglefield Corner, Surrey

On the A22 south of Godstone. A vast range of equipment for the outdoor holiday enthusiast. There is also a garden centre adjoining.

Farmland near Byers Lane, Surrey

Following the recent spell of good weather, the hay is already baled and ready for storage.

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.

Grounds of Harewood House, Surrey

The usually lush green parkland is brown and parched after record July temperatures and very little rain.

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.

The road to Nowhere, Surrey

Surprisingly this lane does not appear in any form at all on the 1:25000 map, nor is there any indication of anywhere it could serve. The gate is firmly padlocked. No farm stock or arable crop is visible.

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.

Dr Neil Clifton

Little Chef restaurant, South Godstone, Surrey

On the west side of the A22. I suppose some people must actually eat in these establishments, otherwise they would not be there.

Road and public footpath near Blindley Heath, Surrey

This footpath is the southern leg of a group of paths which link the A22 eastwards across to Tandridge Lane. The path is metalled at the western end to give access to a small number of properties.

Pumping station

This building would appear to have no door and no window. It is surrounded by high-security fencing through which I had to poke the camera to take the photograph.

Bridleway towards Lower South Park

A well used, fenced bridleway connecting two roads, that could better be described as a green lane, and perhaps surprisingly is not classified as a byway.
