The London/Kent border Westerham Hill

A SQUARE BY SQUARE LOOK AT LONDON
TQ 44 57 An area of agricultural land beneath rolling hillside

Boundary London/Kent/Bromley
The boundary proceeds westwards along a path to reach some woodland which it crosses and then runs along the edge of another length of wood, with another belt of woodland parallel to the south and crossing a path which comes from Gray’s Stud. The boundary continues westward.

The boundary has turned west at last and is heading parallel to the Pilgrim's Way and it predecessor tracks. This is an area of farmland which feels very empty and remot - despite the M25 and the odd bit of abandoned extractive industry. No wonder the Woolwich hid here in the War.
