Over the fields is Brasted village on the busy A25 with the equally busy and noisy M25 motorway beyond that, with the North downs in the distance.

A motorway does not make the most beautiful of pictures, but here cars, vans, HGVs and a stretch limo. all add interest - and CO2

Dryhill Lane, a public bridleway

Thankfully, the southern portion of Dryhill Lane only has bridleway status, so those nasty gas-guzzling 4x4s (or other motor cars) cannot be brought here to disturb its peace.

St. Martin's Church, Brasted, Kent

This fine parish church is built mainly of the local Kentish ragstone. It occupies a secluded site on the northern edge of the village - and there is even a quiet pub. (the Stanhope Arms) adjoining.

A25 near Brasted Sand Pits, Kent

The opening of the parallel M25 did not mean that the A25 became some quiet backwater. It still carries a great deal of traffic and can become congested, threading its way as it does through Westerham, Brasted and Sundridge. This eastward looking view was taken from the entrance to Brasted Sand Pits.

A muddy bridleway

It occurred to me as I took this photograph to wonder if anyone goes out taking geographs on horseback? Some use a car, others, especially in urban areas, use public transport. A motor cycle or bicycle is useful. But on this extremely muddy bridleway, which runs westwards from New Road, Sundridge, Kent, a horse would have been the best of all.
