Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

Good evening all.
The Sewage works had me stumped and could not locate.
So another Building for you?

Or to give it its proper Roman name 'Portus Lemanis'

Is it worth mentioning that Lympne Castle is the medieval and later one on the hillside to the right, whilst Stutfall Castle is the Roman Shore Fort wall remains to the lower left (the sinuous broken pale line on the sloping hillside).

Darn it, I thought that would have lasted longer. On the right tracks John Walker, it was actually taken from Dymchurch Sewage Works.


Tucked well out of the way, Dymchurch Works is really only visible from the RH&DR which runs close by.


Beachbum has it....

[John Walker]

I'm pretty sure Beachbum has it right.    Taken near Lone Barn, Lower Wall Road, Hythe?  Not sure what the object in the front of the pic is.  Looks like something on a water treatment plant?

Lympne Castle?

[stuartwaters]

Thank you, it's not often I get one of these places.


What and where is this and for an additional House Point, where did I take the photo from?

[Local Hiker]

stuartwaters, you have the chair.
I used to cycle there from Gillingham as a young teenager.
It is a pleasant walk as an older adult, made easier now that the level crossing at Hoo Junction has been opened.
The alternative route, parking in Canal Road and walking along the Thames Medway Canal for a bit, was interesting but a tad long for my legs.
Being up close and personal with the ships going in and out of Tilbury is interesting too, but too far west for the giants using London Gateway.


Over to you...

[stuartwaters]

Oooooh this looks familiar, Shornemead Fort by any chance?

[grandarog]

Funnily enough I know exactly where Local Hiker was Walking.
I will pass for a while,hopefully some one else from the 180  members will join in with a guess.

[Local Hiker]

Hoo identifies the correct part of Kent, so is heading in the right direction.

[johnfilmer]

Hoo?

[Local Hiker]

Thanks grandarog.


I went there a couple of years ago, the week after it shut for winter, and after heavy rain. There was no cafe, no toilets, lots of mud and mulched leaf litter, and flooding on the paths. It is definitely worth a visit, but I shall return one summer on a hot dry day!


Next GTP, an autumn walk back in 2016.

Fascinating stuff everyone.  Going to dig my chemistry set out
