Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Surrey Hills Standing over the edge of the North Downs on a luminous May morning, and breathing the sweet, virgin air, redolent of the distant sea, your mind swings back to the time when the Weald between the North and South Downs was the impenetrable forest of Anderida. Immediately below your feet is that huge fluted scar sculptured out of the chalk by the men of Oxted, which, when lighted by a brilliant sun, becomes a lofty landmark, flashing like a beacon across the great Weald. It evokes images of the distant past, for here we have exposed the bare bones and implements of our ancestry. We think of the time when Paleolithic man, keeping to the range of the chalk downs, would avoid the mammoth and woolly rhinoceros that drank at the margin of the shining clay pools of the forest of Anderida, where, hidden by bracken and bramble, the wild boar would wallow, roaming out of reach of the winged arrow-heads of man.
