We're in danger of going past now grandarog, turn right along the A2 and look for a castle, the lake is about 3.5 miles from that.

Is it the Lake behind "The Inn on the Lake" on the A2 at  Shorne ?

Not there John Walker but you are heading roughly in the right direction. The lake in the picture is not  a naturally occurring one being created and opened in the early 1990s.

Not Turkey Mill John Walker but you are closer than both your initial guess and also that also MartinR's. Grandarog you are heading in the wrong direction from MartinR's guess.

Is it Mote Park lake - the upstream end?  (BTW, if it is I'll not be able to put up the next one until tomorrow evening.)

Well done ,it is indeed one of the lions on the gate at RBLV at Aylesford. They were Stolen. as JohnWalker hinted. The Police recoved them a few days later in a Garagelockup at Marden or Malling cant remember which.No idea why they are on the Gate posts.


Lion statues worth £200,000 are recovered after being stolen from the Royal British Legion Village near Aylesford (kentonline.co.uk)



Over to you Stewie.
