Tonbridge, Kent.

Driving in England (Kent and East Sussex)
For Americans going to England, they usually are concerned with driving on the left side of the road. But that is only part of the adventure. The secondary roads are very narrow and curves are everywhere. But the biggest challenge are the hedges on the sides of the road and the speed the English like to drive. This video shows what it's like to drive the roads, including going through towns where people park half on the sidewalk and half on the road so there is only one and half lanes.
Car was a SUV Volvo XC60.
If you are thinking about driving in England (in this case East Sussex and Kent), this will give you an idea of what you will find.

The sitting room with log burner is perfect for everyone to relax in after a day discovering the beauty of the area and the compact study off provides a quiet corner. Upstairs the master bedroom gives access to a twin bedroom making this an ideal family suite; there is a further double bedroom and bathroom on this floor. Outside, the flower and shrub filled rear courtyard patio overlooking unspoilt countryside, is a great place for a family barbeque or just to sit, possibly with a glass of wine, and enjoy the panoramic view.
Agent's Note: The twin bedroom is accessed via the main bedroom

On board the Caledonian Sleeper from London Euston to Fort Williams, this was filmed on 21:15 from London Euston to Inverness, Fort Williams & Aberdeen I filmed on the both sides for the windows and I got some get shots, we got to Watford JCT on time then we head toward Milton Keynes Central, Rugby, Stafford, Crewe, Preston, Carlisle, Lockerbie & We got into Edinburgh over 60 minutes, this was due to a Broken Freight Train near Beatrock
so we were held at Lockerbie for some time but the the Fort Williams section we 48 minutes late on depart from Edinburgh but I felt asleep between Edinburgh & the start of the West Highlands line.

Brenchley, Kent: A village with no cycle racks
A village that keeps winning prizes Best Kept Village fails to win any prizes for cycle racks as these are nowhere to be found, even though it is the 21st century and proactive councils normally bend over backwards to do something for the environment.
Cyclists would certainly not give this village any prizes for that. Maybe they don't like cyclists.
Also heavy lorries & 4x4s speed through the village despite the bends and 30mph speed limit. Apparently it will get worse after the A21. When there is an accident along the A21, many lorries divert into the village. Sooner or later, these lorries will crash into the houses like they have done in Sevenoaks.
At night time, there are no street lights because 'it doesn't go with the village' apparently even though kids are about in the evening.
Clearly it is more important for a village to look pretty than to make sure the roads are safe for children, cyclists, tourists and other pedestrians.
The best bit was the friendly Butchers shop. It certainly made up for the difficulties of trying to get across the road safely (there isn't even a crossroads either!).
It could be a lovely village if it was made safer. Yes, it is pretty but it would be prettier if more people rode a bike. It would also be quieter if there were less lorries, It was very noisy in the High Street with all the racket from the cars racing by. The video is just a short interlude of quietness, there weren't many.
If i hear of any accidents here, I will mention them in the comments and if you hear of any, please do the same.
