Botley Hill trig point The highest trig point on the North Downs (benchmark at 266.88m), and until recently most references claimed that this also marked the highest point of the whole of the North Downs. However, in practice, this is not the case. Firstly the land seems to rise slightly to the east, and there is another area slightly to the west which also lies above the 265m contour, with the same 267m spot height (although older maps give the latter point a slightly lower height than the trig point when measured in feet). But more significantly, old 1 inch maps show a spot height of 882 feet next to the water tower in the next square over (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/788446">TQ3855 : Woldingham water tower</a>), compared with only 877 feet at the trig point, implying that the true summit point of the North Downs could well be there. This has since been confirmed by surveys. Unfortunately, views to the south at this point are blocked by the woodland of Titsey Plantation, and the nature of the plateau means that the expected view north over London is not available. Behind is one of a number of masts near Botley Hill, this one beside Botley Hill Farm.

Park Lane Cottages The slight rise in the ground between the foreground and the cottages is often claimed to be the highest point on the North Downs, in that visitors to the trig point (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/788400">TQ3955 : Botley Hill trig point</a>), whose spot height is the highest point marked on current maps, can see that this land is slightly higher than the trig point itself. In fact, old maps suggest that the true highest point is around 1km further west (see description that goes with <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/788400">TQ3955 : Botley Hill trig point</a> for discussion). What is certain, though, is that this is the highest house on the North Downs.

Pitchfont Lane This is Limpsfield CP 73, a Byway open to all traffic according to the maps, but apparently not in practice. It's followed by the North Downs Way as it plunges down the scarp through Titsey Plantation. The scene, with the gate at the top, also appears in sunnier weather at <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2716879">TQ3955 : Gate on Pitchfont Lane</a>.

Pitchfont Lane On the left is a gate leading onto the red route path along the lower part of Titsey Plantation, which the sunken lane is climbing. In doing so it is following BOAT Limpsfield CP 73 up the chalk scarp, and carrying the North Downs Way.

Pitchfont Lane At the point where the North Downs Way leaves it to turn west along the foot of Titsey Plantation, following Limpsfield footpath CP 575. The Vanguard Way also uses that path, but in the other direction it heads on down the lane (BOAT Limpsfield CP 73). The red waymarks indicate the red walking route through the Titsey estate, though the one pointing up the lane past the camera is a trifle misleading, as it immediately turns left through the gate visible in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4747162">TQ3954 : Pitchfont Lane</a>, taken from the same spot.

Dry valley The North Downs are a ridge of chalk hills in south east England that stretch for 120 miles (190 km) from Farnham in Surrey to the White Cliffs of Dover in Kent. The North Downs lie within two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs), the Surrey Hills and the Kent Downs. The North Downs Way National Trail runs along the North Downs from Farnham to Dover. At its highest point, Botley Hill in Surrey is 882ft above sea level.
