From the original description. - Smithwood Common has no history, a few
small houses and one fine old farm on its boundaries ; but it is prettily situated
under the hills, and is one of the best types of Surrey common. The finest view
is from the southern end, looking over a great expanse of old furze, but I found
this only a collection of burnt stumps and blackened ground. The view given is
a fairly characteristic one, showing the road leading upwards to Winterfold Heath.
This hill at the southern end is densely covered with scrub, beech, oak, and fir
and little can be seen ; but a short distance northwards there are open spaces
with solitary trees here and there among the golden bracken, and fine views of
Clandon Downs St. Martha's Chapel, and westward along the Hog's Back until it
is lost in the distant haze.
