Pond by Oldhouse Lane The lane is a bridleway running between widely spaced boundaries. The southern part is very muddy and poached from horse use, but here, and further north, the going is better. The pond may have been created to improve the drainage of the lane.

Earthworking, Coolham According to aerial photographs, a few years ago this field housed a dirt track for some sort of vehicle racing. Now what appears to be chalk marl or possibly gypsum waste is being spread and covered with a thin layer of native soil. Is this to improve the poor Weald Clay drainage for a project such as a golf course? The field seems too small for this.

Memorial trees by former Coolham airfield Most of the trees along the path and several more behind the viewpoint are memorials to those who died working out of Coolham A.L.G. Airfield in spring 1944. The end of the airfield is on the right, although there is no sign of it now, apart from the arrangement of fence lines and rights-of-way around a large level area. This was a temporary airfield for D-day purposes, A.L.G. standing for Advanced Landing Ground. The dead were eight from the Polish Air Force and seven from the RAF.
