		Between Sideling Hill Creek and the next ridge -Town Hill- there is a great deal of primitive woodland, and much scrub growth; for part of the way, also, the road is through red clay and shale.
		Now the road begins the long, winding ascent of Town Hill which, though it reaches a height a trifle greater than Sideling Hill, is much more easily crossed; from the summit there are the usual fine views, then a long winding descent, with a sharp right curve part-way down.
