Most of Benfleet's plotlands are well to the north of here. There is, however, a patch of plotland in central Benfleet. Like that further north, much of the open land here is used for horse grazing. The road running across the upper half is the A13 (London Road). The road running to the top from the centre of this is Rhoda Road North. Like many roads in this area, part of this is unmade. The woodland at the upper right is Coombe Wood. Part of this is secondary, but much has the characteristics of ancient woodland. The London Road alongside the wood begins a rise upwards from the London Clay flatlands to the left up to the Claygate and Bagshot Beds to the right of the photo. This stretch is known as the Bread and Cheese Hill (see Image, here Coombe Wood is on the right).
