. The Old Road . t cannot have cut straight across the valley, for the steepnessof the valley-side forbids that, and, on the other hand, therewould have been no object in going much further up the valleythan was necessary in order to save the steep descent. At any rate, the gap is quite short and the road is easilyrecovered after the combe and the high-road are passed; itis thence identical with the lane I have spoken of above.This lane is called Flower Lane. It follows the 600-feetcontour-line and winds therefore exactly round the outline ofthe hill. It passes the lodge of Harden Park, and within a 121 THE EXPLORATION few hundred yards comes to a place where the modem roadbifurcates. The good macadamised lane goes straight on andsomewhat downwards towards the plain. Another, less carefullymade, begins to wind up the hill above one. From this pointonward the Old Road takes again to the rough ground. There lies just before one on the hillside a wood, called TheHanging Wood. 400 ft- OxtedRailway Cutting. Ascertained portion of Old Road — — — — Conjectural We skirted the south edge of this wood and found beyondit a field in which the track is lost ^; nor was the task of re-covering it an easy one, for the light was just faihng, and here, as always where cultivation has risen above the old level, theOld Road is confused and destroyed. We had, however, over these few yards an excellent clue.In a wood called The Rye Wood just in front of us the trackof the Old Road is not only clearly marked, but has been pre-served by local traditions. For this NW. corner of the Rye This field is marked 2 in the ^^ Ordnance map for Surrey (xxvii. 8).122 OF THE KOAD Wood we made, through the south of the spinney called Hogtrough Spinney. Just beyond the Eye Wood, the hillside is pierced by adeep railway cutting which is the entrance to Oxted Tunnel.This cutting comes right across the line of the Old Eoad.We made for this point (which is a few yards north of thefirst bridge), but wh
