Abstract
The village of Brook, with its delightful church, oasthouses and wooden barns, lies close to the edge of the chalk escarpment of the North Downs. The escarpment here has been cut into by a cluster of seven coombes or dry valleys; striking, steep features that run back up to 450 m into the escarpment. They are from north to south; the New Barn Coombe, The Old Limekiln Coombe, Fishpond Bottom, Newgate Scrubs, the Devil’s Kneadingtrough, and the two small Piclersdane Scrubs Coombes.
