The first walk was out in the roads, but the second at 12 o'clk was in the sandwalk. There he used to mark his turns, having a stated number to take first 4 or 5 flints which he used to kick from one heap to another, moving one each turn later by a score in the sand with his stick. A sound that I can hear now with perfect distinctness is the click of his iron shod stick against the flints which jutted up on the straight side of the sandwalk, coming irregularly as he walked briskly on, often

Another day in the sandwalk a whole family of young squirrels (two or three I think) took him for a tree ran up down him. He felt them running halfway up his back. The old mother sat by in a tree making the danger signal in an agony at the folly of her children. He had a sharp eye for birds nests often used to find them without looking for them. He used to

I was once the unconscious means of making a discovery in natural history, the meaning of which has never yet been unraveled. When I was about 8 or 9 I was one day in August or September in the Sandwalk (so-called because at one time the path had been covered with red sand), as my father paced round the walk I waited by the old ash tree at the end. On his coming round I told him that their was a humble bee's nest in the tree. This he declared to be impossible, but I stuck to it that there was

Of all places at Down, the Sandwalk seemed most to belong to my grandfather. It was a path running round a little wood which he had planted himself; and it always seemed to be a very long way from the house. You went right to the furthest end of the kitchen garden, and then through a wooden door in the high hedge, which quite cut you off from human society. Here a fenced path ran along between two great lonely meadows, till you came to the wood. The path ran straight down the outside of the

During such perambulations he might take an oak stick, especially if he felt giddy , even if it meant going from the study into the hall for a pinch of snuff, to which he was much addicted. He was

At 12 or 12.30 he would go for a walk on the sandwalk accompanied by his dog. The sandwalk was a circular path through a small wood at the south side of the property, originally the path was dressed with red sand, hence its name. The little wood through which it wound was planted with a variety of trees including oak, elm, beech, hornbeam, birch, alder, hazel, lime and
