Track into woods

Branching north from the public bridleway into Crookedfield Shaw is a track used by a quad bike or similar - probably a gamekeeper's route.

Path out of the wood

Branching south from the track used as a public bridleway, this private path into the field has not merited such a big gate for a long time.

South Park Farm

Something more than a farm, there is a chapel in the complex.

Cottages on drive to South Park Farm

Just over the crest is the drive entrance where the public bridleway along the drive finishes and the public road, South Park Lane, starts.

Approach to South Park

The chapel is prominent ahead.

Railway Bridge over Roman road

The Redhill - Tonbridge line crosses Tilburstow Hill Road, mapped as a Roman road, and certainly an older southern approach to Godstone than the course used by the A22.

Cottages on Hart's Lane

Handily placed for the pub - just round the corner to the Fox and Hounds on Tilburstow Hill Road.

Footpath beside railway

This footpath parallels the railway, through the fence on the left, nearly all the way from South Godstone to Tilburstow Hill Road. It is tarmac all the way, although grassed over in more open spots.

The Fox and Hounds, South Godstone

Although somewhat remote from South Godstone village, this attractive pub seemed to be doing a thriving trade on a weekday lunchtime. Daffodils have appeared along the fence - some of the first to be seen in this unusually late spring.
