Climbing up out of the car park, the lane truly begins just after leaving the driveway for a vast private house on the left which looks more like a railway station building than a private residence. A muddy surface with standing water in places during very wet weather, the lane is never-the-less well kept. A wall runs on one side which tends to keep back the foliage, but later in the lane when the wall is replaced by stake fencing, the foliage closes in a little. It's never dramatically bad however.
Winding it's way along the contours that form the steep northern bank of the River Wey, and following its course, the lane begins a very slight uphill climb towards its southern end, where it bursts out of undergrowth onto a very tight hairpin bend in the metaled country lane of the same name. A good drive which is made better due the proximity of Squires Hill Lane, a personal favourite.
