Old lane near Chalvington Many lanes and roads in this area of Sussex lead south to the pastures on the South Downs. With the arrival of the car many lanes were made up but some did not, lost their importance and now are bridleways or footpaths. This route begins deep in the Weald then heads south but stops at the A22, becoming a track until it reaches Chalvington Stud Farm before becoming a made up road again. What initially looks like a lane from the period of enclosures actually dates back to the Roman times. This view looks south and is taken the crossroads of tracks just south of the A22. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/TQ5311">TQ5311</a> for where the west track ends.

Footbridge near Caldicott's Wood This rather forlorn footbridge marks the northern border of the former Dicker Common which stretched out north and south of the current A22 from Boship Roundabout to Golden Cross. The line of trees in the foreground marks the path of a bridleway formerly a main route from Horsebridge onto the common. The common was enclosed during the first half of the nineteenth century.
