Sherlock Holmes on Hindhead
Sir Conan Doyle has built a pleasant house on the opposite side of the road from Professor Tyndall's. The view from its front is charming. One looks right across the valley to the Sussex downs, an uninterrupted panorama of twenty miles. In the grounds are targets for the district rifle club, which owes its inception very largely to the author of "Sherlock Holmes" and where, by the bye, he often gets some good exercise. Sir Conan Doyle is intensely fond of outdoor sports, and during the season frequently has a spin with the Chiddingfold Hunt.
