In a nice neat little line are Bewbush Green (bottom), Bonwyckes House in Ifield Wood (just above centre) and the Russ Hill Hotel (white building below Box Hill). On top of Box Hill, beyond the hotel, are the unmistakable white walls of Brockham Warren. Hidden in the trees between Ifield West (the phone mast marks Dobbins Place) and Bonwyckes is Ifield Golf Course. A small strip of striped fairway is visible on the very far right of the image.

 

Bewbush shops are in the bottom right corner and a little way above is Ifield Millpond. on the far right, beyond the relatively new rooflines of The Maples estate, are the fields of Ifield Court Farm and a little way above the fields is the tower of the Church of St Nicholas at Charlwood.
