We drove around London on the circular M25 then turned across the North Downs. Why are these hills called downs and not ups? I don't know. The South Down are on the South coast whilst the North Down are North of them nearer London. The area in between has been eroded into a hollow or plain called the Weald. I think of weald rhyming with field.
Having suffered many dull journeys along motorways I was delighted by the views over the treetops and hilltops through the forested North Downs. We drove towards Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells and Tunbridge which I shall describe later.
Signs on the road warned us of cows and sheep.
