61. HIGH ROCKS AND WATERDOWN FOREST, NEAR TUNBRIDGE

62. HILLS EAST OF WROTHAM. 



At Wrotham the downs incline to the north-eastward, and thus form 

 the western side of a funnel, leading to the outlet by which the river 

 Medway finds its way to the estuary of the Thames. On the opposite side 

 of this funnel, near Rochester, the hills appear to attain a greater elevation 

 than elsewhere along the range, although in the immediate vicinity of 

 Wrotham they are not less than eight hundred feet high. The same 

 smooth rounded outline of configuration characterises this section of the 

 downs as elsewhere ; the same vajes of drainage deepening and widening
