Cobham, Henley Street, Luddesdown and Great Buckland
A Walk to Some Lovely Villages on the Dip of the Kent Downs
Just five miles away from the busy towns of Gravesend and Rochester is a lace-like network of lanes and footpaths. This walk through enchanting remote downland countryside visits two historic villages. The first, Cobham, stands 360 feet above sea level and is dominated by the Church of St Mary Magdalene, featuring the largest collection of 13th-century memorial brasses in the world.
