Starting off from Wrotham
Gaps in the woodland give views of the arable land below the Downs.
The fields are ripe unto harvest
The path continues
How did these seeds get there? Left over from a previous year, maybe?
A stop for lunch, so put down the walking poles for a few minutes.
A more modern building in traditional oast-house style.
Branches trimmed from 'The Faraway Tree'.
Did someone stay the night in the bivouac?
Trace the NDW through the harvested field
Suddenly into a rural village.
How much further today is what I need to know!
The village sign tells us what happens here.
Painted ladies
First view of the River Medway en route
And now the Medway Bridge, rail, road and pedestrian
Obviously a necessary notice - several of them on the bridge too.
Downstream from the middle of the bridge, with views of Rochester, its castle and cathedral
Blackberries in season, a delicacy en route.
Banks of the butterfly bush in bloom.
Approaching Wouldham Common, with a look back at the Medway Bridge,
Arriving at the 'Shrine of Our Lady' at Aylesford, just at 6pm with the bells ringing the Angelus
