Looking upstream towards where this water course would be Bromley Brook. I am not exactly sure which confluence precipitates the name change.

Mullered Mercedes in Mill Wood

This pile of scrap long predates the Woodland Trusts stewardship of Mill Wood. At first I thought the remains of the car were a 1950's Vauxhall until I spied the iconic three pointed star engraved on the remains of the wiper motor.

Honeypot Lane

Nearing its eastern end. Despite what map makers maintain, this lane is signed as Honeypot Lane from the right angled bend where the bridleway Cock Lane strikes off, up to the junction ahead.
