My bike and The Plough Inn, Coldharbour, tells a story. It was a hot day and the pint of Lager was pure bliss, Surrey, England.

            Commentary.

At almost 800 feet above sea-level Crowborough, in East Sussex,
is the only settlement in South-East England, that I can think of, 
higher than the village of Coldharbour, in Surrey.
It stands on the north-east side of Leith Hill at 965 feet or 294 metres.
A footpath starting opposite The Plough Inn wends its way south-west, past Coldharbour Cricket Ground, on a level site, half-way to the summit Tower.
To the east of the village, right in the image, is a ditch and dyke, flat-topped hill, that takes settlement here, back at least 3,200 years.
This was the site of an Iron-Age Hill-Fort called Anstiebury.
When trees are leafless in winter and early spring,
many dwellings, in this lofty village, enjoy superb views across the Surrey and Sussex Weald.
Since the 2012 Olympic Games in London, cycling in the Surrey Hills has become incredibly popular.
Racers and Mountain-Bikers have a splendid terrain
to explore and enjoy.
