Meadow and woodland, near Crowhurst, Surrey

No metalled road enters this gridsquare, which is thus a haven of peaceful English countryside. The infant River Eden meanders just beyond the trees, and a large herd of Channel Islands cattle can also just be discerned.

Popes Lane, near Oxted, Surrey

Popes Lane is a narrow and winding lane that has been used by motorists as a cut-through between Godstone in Surrey and the Edenbridge area of Kent, but it is not really suitable for heavy traffic and the surface has given way in places, resulting in the closure of the road to through traffic at the present time. It is seen here after a heavy shower.

Flood on Gibbs Brook Lane

The green vehicle made a successful transit, but for lower slung cars it would be risky.

Approach to Tandridge Lane - Southlands Lane junction

The road sign shows the main route to bend to the right with a side road to the left. Tandridge Lane is in the foreground - it then turns left, and the main route bends right to become Southlands Lane. The junction has been remodelled at some time - formerly the side branch was to the right and Tandridge Lane was the through route.
