The North Downs Way here heads down from the crest of the Downs to meet the Pilgrim's Way at the foot of the hill. Alongside a number of beech trees have been left where they fell in the October 1987 Storm, or one of the subsequent storms. The wind would have come in from the west and caught them at this exposed spot where possibly erosion at their roots did not help their stability.
