Pond Hills Road starts as a continuation of The_Street at the crossroads with Clamp Lane and Marlpit_Lane. It then runs slightly to the southwest through the woods to the Edgefield Road. The single track road winds through a series of blind corners and hills and is one of the most picturesesque roads in North Norfolk.

Up until c.1970, when the farms were split up, the buildings on Pond Hills Road consisted of Church_Farm at the northern end, along with its barns and tithe cottages (nos. 41 & 42 Pond Hills) and Brownwood_Farm with its barns at the southern end. All these buildings stood on the western side of the road and only the Ponds Hills gamekeepers' cottages stood on the eastern side.

A large marlpit was worked on the west side of Pond Hills Road just to the south of Brownwood and had its own track from the road. The pit has now been partially filled and the track fell into disrepair many years ago after Mrs. Joan Watson-Cook, the then owner of Brownwood refused to allow the farmer to remove one of the track's hedges to accommodate wide farm machinery.
