You need to go a fair few miles SSW from Milton Regis passing over two motorways.  Castle261

Head a fair way WSW from Chilham. Don't forget that the road in front of the building is an A Road.


This large village has a station about 1km from this location.

Yes, it's on a hill.  The hill continues up behind the camera position, reaches a brow and goes back down.


Church at the brow but not easily seen from the main road.  The road is a fairly busy 'A' Road.

Either whoever fitted the seat by the road had lost the bubble out of his spirit level, or this is on a hill!

Thanks Diapason.   That was a struggle as it didn't come up on my Google maps for some reason.  Once you'd said Throwley was close it helped a lot.  Still,  I had a nice virtual trip around Swale.




Next one - same one as last time that I'm fairly sure hasn't been correctly guessed yet.

Well done John!


I posted it on the old forum when the solitary bell was stolen.


I believe a replacement was found locally.

This church should ring a bell in your memory.


Getting warmer with Throwley.


Were you thinking of Oare (not south of the M2) or Eastling? Both somewhat similar.

Struggling a bit now.  St Bartholomews Church, Goodnestone looked to be the place but I see now that it's almost a mirror image with the entrance on the opposite side.

I seem to recall a church just south of the M2 which was at the end of a track but I can't find it now.   


Throwley area ?

Good try, John, a very similar building but the wrong side of the M2.
