	Weald
		In geographical terms the Weald is a particular area in southern England, that is situated between the chalk hills of the North Downs[?] and South Downs[?], and that extends across the counties of Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and Surrey.
		The High Weald of much more rugged hills, ridges and valleys is part of the "Wealden" anticline, once layered rock that later rose up and folded upward into an arched incline, as well as steep slopes falling away in certain parts of the area.
		The Weald has kept its wooded character to this day, the forest covering a record 23 per cent still of the countryside, and despite the population pressure in the South of England, it has not resulted in any major urban environment.
