Early clue was South of M20, so certainly not Upchurch!

Whoops - I forgot that clue when map surfing - must pay more attention!    :-[

Allington was a good start, go west (very ish), but not too far.

Breaking news…

Google Maps doesn’t name the castle! And the lane alongside the school no longer reaches our building, that now involves going a road further along and then round the houses, quite literally.

Moral don’t rely on older memories, roads change, the one past the church was a main A road, now it’s 20mph.

Eh?  John - I'm no expert on Kent.  I only moved here to chase a job for a couple of years before heading back to my homeland in the North.  Something went a little awry with the timing though, "a couple of years" has stretched to nigh-on 40.

Looking at the map of the major rivers of Kent on the wikipedia page for the River Medway, I'd say the Medway valley is everywhere north of the High Weald in eastern Kent (apart from a strip of the Darent) and across past Headcorn nearly to Ashford.  North of the Medway Gap you could cavil about he word "valley", it's really the North Kent Plain, except where it's the mud originally from the Medway Valley!

Medway valley to me (probably just me) extends all the way out to the Medway Towns. Maybe Medway Gap is more correct? Martin will no doubt correct me 😁

‘Fraud not JW. You need to go NEish.

There is a good reason that the pic is cropped at its base…

NEish takes me away from the Medway Valley or am I misunderstanding it?

Gone too far away JW, Allington was much closer.

The Castle is hidden from the road, partly behind the church. CofE school opposite the church, the road alongside the school eventually brings you to our building.

Not Allington, JW.

Stay in the general area of the Medway Valley.

Small, easily overlooked 13th Century castle, with Tudor additions, and parish church not far away.

Not Yalding either…

The building is not isolated, lots of newer ones surround it.
