Sundridge Hill, Kent

We are on the scarp slope of the North Downs here, and many of the lanes crossing it are both narrow and steep. This one rates a "more than 14%" symbol on the OS map. If you are motoring in this area, please use extra care.

Entrance to Brasted Hill Farm, Kent

On approaching the farm gate, the two watchdogs - one a German Shepherd and the other a Dobermann - set up such a racket of barking that it must have been audible over half the County. I took my photograph quickly and removed myself as rapidly as I was able.

The Pilgrim's Way runs left to right (west to east) here, while Hogtrough Hill, which rates a "more than 14%" symbol on the OS map, climbs steeply up the scarp slope of the North Downs towards Knockholt.

St. Martin's Church, Brasted, Kent

This fine parish church is built mainly of the local Kentish ragstone. It occupies a secluded site on the northern edge of the village - and there is even a quiet pub. (the Stanhope Arms) adjoining.

A25 near Brasted Sand Pits, Kent

The opening of the parallel M25 did not mean that the A25 became some quiet backwater. It still carries a great deal of traffic and can become congested, threading its way as it does through Westerham, Brasted and Sundridge. This eastward looking view was taken from the entrance to Brasted Sand Pits.
