A rustic seat adorns the entrance to this enticing green lane near the village of Hope.
Newton Poppleford is a good base for exploring the Vale of the Otter, with footpath, bridleways and ancient green lanes heading out to all points of the compass.
Look further down Green Lanes, and see the familiar dreary three-storey legacy of the late 1950s stopping the view.
Another highlight for children used to be the travelling fair which visited the Lickeys on bank holidays, occupying a site on the corner of Lickey Road and Leach Green Lane.
The Girls' High School was founded in 1918 in Brueton House at Mount Pleasant, but moved to this purpose-built accommodation in Green Lanes in 1930.
Many villages have a similarly named spot where lanes meet. The view was taken looking down Church Road from Cartmel Road by the crossroads, and is still much the same in appearance.
At the foot of St Dunstan's Hill, this mock-Tudor fronted Charrington's pub stands at the crossing point of the old parish boundary of Gander Green Lane with the Sutton by-pass, which had been constructed
Over a century after Padgate was created as a separate parish in 1838, there is still an air of open countryside in this Green Lane.
Farley Green is situated towards the south end of Albury parish, and its fields are carved out of the surrounding greensand woods.
This delightful sunken lane is one of Chipstead`s secrets, linking Vincent's Green with Coulsdon Lane. The flint wall on the left, now dismantled, is probably marking the entrance to Keepers.

Flendyshe House, facing the small green, is an early 17th-century house remodelled in 1807. On the green is the war memorial.
This was a green, and the present Green Lane that borders the area perpetuates its memory.
Originally the village extended no further than Back Lane, Coldstream Lane, the High Street and the houses in the vicinity of the green, which we see in this photograph.
The photographer here looks east towards Yelvertoft Road with Hillmorton Lane to the right. Just east of the village the peace is disrupted by Watling Street's successor, the busy M1 motorway.
The route turns west, and passes through East Hanney to West Hanney, a village with two parallel lanes and a small green at the east end.
