It is quiet JW, but has given me time to find it.


Royton Manor I think.

Very quiet - I'm guessing you've all gone on holiday or more clues are needed  ;D  .


Between HS1 and another rail line which runs from Ashford to London.

Between M20 and A20.   It is marked on Google Maps as you zoom in with the name and a castle icon although it isn't a castle of course.

Smarden area?


Not Smarden JohnFilmer


About 150 mtrs from a river  (which is a trickle at this point) / within 500 mtrs of a rail line and a major road.

Thank you John Walker, it is interesting history. When we visited that day a helicopter landed in the grounds ( we watched ) it was piloted by Prince William who was escorted in for lunch.
I have emailed them but have had no reply   and as I'm stone deaf now  can't phone and maybe get the answer to my query. Never mind it doesn't really matter now . Would have been interesting to me and my family though.
