Goathurst Common Well Prior to the sinking of the well in 1901, villagers used water from rainwater storage tanks. When these ran dry, villagers had to walk down a steep hill to the springs south of Stubbs Woods, to collect their water. Piped water was brought to the area during the 1920s.

Dryhill Lane, a public bridleway Thankfully, the southern portion of Dryhill Lane only has bridleway status, so those nasty gas-guzzling 4x4s (or other motor cars) cannot be brought here to disturb its peace.

Footpath into Hawks Wood This path leads westward from the little-used Back Lane into Hawks Wood, near Sevenoaks, Kent.  It's late May and there are still plenty of bluebells about.

A muddy bridleway It occurred to me as I took this photograph to wonder if anyone goes out taking geographs on horseback?  Some use a car, others, especially in urban areas, use public transport.  A motor cycle or bicycle is useful.  But on this extremely muddy bridleway, which runs westwards from New Road, Sundridge, Kent, a horse would have been the best of all.
