Some of you may notice ive just edited this (passing through the big smoke), as im back from an excellent weekend in Kent, visiting my Kentish Maid. The county located in the very South East of England, is the 10th Largest county (area), or 7th by population of around 1.6 million. Its highest point stands at 823ft (Betsoms Hill), and much of the North Downs chalky ridge reachs around 600ft. Its title of "garden of england" is due to the farming influence, in the form of many orchards, fields of crops, livestock, vineyards, and not forgetting hops, essential for fine Kentish Ale - visible by many pretty oast houses in the countryside used for processing the crop.
The picture above is looking South from the North Downs towards the village of West Malling and Kings Hill in the distance (left) , until recently site of a former air field seeing major activity in WWII. Nestling away behind fields and hedges the M20 crosses the picture horizontally, as does the Ashford - Otford railway line.
