44. ABOUT BUCKLAND AND BROCKHAM. 



The downs between Betchworth and Reigate hereabouts, are apparently 

 of lower elevation than the sections right and left of them, though actually 

 the difference is not great. This arises from the extent of the cultivated 

 slopes at their base and the more gradual rise ; otherwise the topogra- 

 phical character of the locality is much the same. Brockham village is 

 on the banks of the river Mole, which approaches the downs at this 

 point.

45. RANMER COMMON, AND THE HILLS WEST OF DORKING AND 

 WHITE DOWNS. 



Ranmer Common, on the summit of the hills, on the other side of 

 the Mole, c in be approached either from the Dorking station on the Red- 

 hill and Guildford line, or from the Burford Bridge station, whence West- 

 humble Lane leads to it directly. It lies high, and is surrounded by 

 woods. The ascent from Westhumble Lane by its northern flank is well 

 covered with scrub and brushwood. Immediately facing Box Hill are the 

 grounds of Mr. Cubitt's mansion. The common extends behind these 

 grounds, and below them, facing Dorking, are some old chalk quarries.
