Midway between a fast railway line and a busy 'A' Road. On the outskirts of a large town.

Thanks Grandarog.  I was totally thrown that the pub wasn't marked as an eating/drinking place.  Anyhow, camera location information (to add to your map) is:
  • Nat Grid:                  TR0110250825
  • Nearest Post Code: TN25 4FA
  • Co-ords(WGS84):    51°13'16"N,000°52'42"E or 51.221190,0.878443

Thanks Gradarog


I've traveled that route many times but still didn't recognise it.  We used to have meals in the Halfway House with our kids.


Next one.


Can be seen on GSV

No problem MartinR.
       Challock Cross is one of the highest points on the North Downs.
The roundabout used to be a Crossroads and had the reputation of being the worst accident spot in Kent for years.
The Pub used to serve an excellent Pensioners menu for a Tenner. I hear it has since changed hands so I cant recommend it today.
