On the right is Greenhill Road; the house is at its junction with a tiny lane, no longer recommended as a motorable road, that runs left below Kerswell Down to North Whilborough.

The lane shown in [[602789]] pursues its deteriorating route along the foot of Kerswell Down Hill.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This used to be a perfectly drivable lane some 30 years ago, and along this stretch close to Kingskerswell the tarmac is still intact. Nearer North Whilborough, however, the warning "unsuitable for motor vehicles" is justified.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Taken from a similar spot to [[602919]], and looking in the opposite direction to [[602917]]. One of the serious humps in the road can be seen.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Modern houses alongside an old lane linking Foredown Lane with Yon Street around the back of The Tors, and with fairly severe speed humps. A cul-de-sac, Greenhill Gardens, encloses the two further houses.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A view from the edge of the woodland on Kerswell Down Hill, towards Huxnor Cross. The lane seen in [[602789]] is between the nearest pair of hedges. Beyond, two horses wait for a chat with their mates. On the right, beyond Snakey Copse, is [[604741]] and in the distance, the outskirts of Torquay.

Dist:0.2km<br/>William of Orange is reputed to have stayed here on his way from Brixham to London. A new street light has been erected since the earlier picture at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/602755.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The pretty C15 thatched cottage is seen across the steep little green between Greenhill Road and Church End Road. For many years a restaurant, it is now a holiday cottage.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This listed building is described in http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/media/pdf/2/0/Kingskerswell_1.pdf as a "fine mid-19th century house with stable block alongside". On Maddacombe Road; the T-junction with Foredown Lane is in the background.
