Not there either John Walker. Its a much older site than any period home.


It once provided protection to the sea, but also overlooked a watery inlet.

Your heading a bit cooler to far west now John Walker. Expand on your initial guess and think coastal.

Many thanks Local Hiker. Hopefully you can return again soon?


Martin R - If you are able to get there some time soon and the trees haven't grown to much on its southern side (downhill part) then there were good views to be had. When I was last there (a few years back) sheep and goats were across the castle grounds, one of which was a bit over friendly and followed everywhere. A bit like a personal tour guide that just wanted to be fed.


Here is my next, which in keeping with the ruined walls theme, but where?

Thanks, Local Hiker.  I've seen the castle mentioned in the White Horse Wood Country Park, but the path to it is not suitable for a mobility scooter.  I see though that there is road access and have just been looking at GSV, so it's one for visiting once lockdown lifts.

Cat, it is Thurnham Caste remains, a lovely area for a walk.
I am stopping playing for now. I am struggling to find time to keep on top of it.

Thank you Stewie. Sorry for the delay. Busy day.

Try this. I was walking a dog in October 2018 who was staying with me for a few days. For the record, the dog is Archie, the little Jack Russell, top right.

Good to hear, though a bit more funding would be well spent. I cant remember how much the Nation Ballet has had over the years, but I bet you could have gold plated the hull of the Medway Queen, or papered it with £10 notes?  ;)

Surely a good cause for lottery funding?


They have had £1.8  million in funding the past and have about 500 supporters who help future funding, inc Princes Michael, Timothy West and Prunella Scales.
