Foxhunt Green Typical of the number of hamlets found in this part of the Weald which is indicative of how the area was originally settled piecemeal in the middle ages by those prepared to hack away the forest and build small farms and settlements.

Holms Farm Looking across a dry valley with Hawkhurst Common Wood beyond the farm. The farm is on the lane to Hawkhurst Common whilst the image was taken from Moat Lane the other side of the valley. Both ridges providing the route which avoided being bogged down in the clay below.

Footpath near Moat Farm Linking Moat Lane with the lane to Hawkhurst Common. The distance between field boundaries suggests the course of an old Green Lane though the land beyond the stream just beyond the trees has no been ploughed up leaving no trace.
