## Points of Interest

### One Tree Hill

According to the information board, this site was 
						just a couple of fields separated by a few trees prior 
						to 1911, which may explain its name.  It was 
						severely affected by the 1987 storm but has recovered 
						rapidly.  There are plenty of trees now.

### Underriver

The name is derived from 'sub le ryver' meaning 
						'under the hill'.  The village was called 'The 
						Golden Valley' by Samuel Palmer, the painter who lived 
						for a time at Shoreham.  The village has its own 
						web site: 
						www.underriver-village.org.uk.

### Romshed Farm

Like the village of Underriver, the original 
						Romschedde was probably settled because it lies where 
						the bottom of the greensand beds meet the Wealden clay 
						resulting in a series of springs that ensure a reliable 
						water supply.  Romshed Farm is an organic farm 
						seeking to conserve the traditional landscape of small 
						fields, hedgerows and belts of ancient woodland.

### Public Transport

Bus service 204 runs from Tonbridge to Underriver 
						where you could start and finish the walk.  It is 
						infrequent and does not run at weekends or Wednesdays 
						but if you take the 10:00 bus out and the 13:31 back you 
						will have plenty of time for the walk.
