Here seen by the North Downs Way close to the old Brockham quarry. The bright lemon-yellow of field maple in autumn is pretty distinctive. The tree is very much a part of the native flora of the Downs and the Weald of south-east England. Elsewhere (and particularly in Essex) I've seen it planted in large numbers as a road-side tree - for instance along the A12 between Chelmsford and Colchester.
