The 'Polhill Arms', near Halstead, Kent The Polhill Arms stands on the A224 (former A21) where it runs very close to the M25 motorway, which bisects this grid square from north to south.  But from the pub, a path run via a footbridge over the motorway, into the lovely Pilots Wood, especially worth a visit at bluebell time.
