So...how did Box Hill get its name, then?

Believe me - it gets filled to capacity Sundays and especially during the summer as the area is popular with bikers, walkers and cyclists. It's quite civilised now but was just a rough ground car park for some time. I'll try to get you a Sunday shot that confirms that. I found this to keep you going in the meantime... ( and then this via a link from the previous 'this' - should keep you occupied for a while....in fact I might not need to get any more photos myself after this one off that link...)

Box Hill gets its named from the trees that grew (grow?) in abundance there. Here's a link to the site that the UK National Trust have for it.

I've also added Ryka's cafe to the map...:
