Guess the Place

[Local Hiker]

I have eaten there recently, but I won't call it because I have had more than my fair share of turns at this game since it started in the new forum.

Thanks Local Hiker.


Next one.


(I'm away until Monday evening but will look when I can)

Yes, the sculptures are scattered around the marshes to the south east of the cafe, all part of Barton Point Coastal park. The napolionic defensive canal starts here. The boating lake is dug off and connected to the canal. The statues are on a WW1 rifle range.

Near the Boathouse Cafe, Sheerness ?

Clue: I have canoed in the boating lake at this place.

Thanks John Walker.
I spent ages trying to convince myself that it was Cliffe Fort, which is surrounded by stored, commercial shingle and aggregate!


This place is a popular dog walking area. The carved wooden statues are all several feet high or long, and all within a few hundred yards of each other. Where is it?

[John Walker]

That's it Local Hiker.  I understand that the structure is a sluice for storm water outlet,

The Hatch restaurant in Folkestone?

John Walker, spot on. Over to you.
It is the track into Sheerness Docks.
The track goes through the large rusty blue gates to the immediate left of the toll house.
I am looking north. The branch just south of here is lifted and gone, so the track in the picture is now severed from the rail network.
To the immediate right (east) of where the picture was taken, there is a large flattened building site that was once Sheerness Steel Mill.

I think you're on the disused track alongside West Street and the A249 in BlueTown (Close to the Royal Fountain hotel) ?

Clue: The toll house was for a pier, not a road.

[Local Hiker]

Clue: The piermaster lived in the toll house.

Spot on, Local Hiker. My first visit there.

Clue: The white house above my bike is a toll house.
