グレートチャッテンデンウッドでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Litter

current (Jan 2024), road surface from here to Cliffe, be aware of potholes etc.

Nice views of the estuary, stones can be a bit slippery but they are compacted and easy to walk on. The camber of the walk can get a bit annoying but it is worth it.

The Machine Shop is a former dry dock slip-cover originally built in the mid 1840s by Fox Henderson & Co. for the Woolwich Dockyard and is believed to be the earliest surviving metal-framed slipcover in existence. Following the dockyard's closure in 1865, it was deconstructed and rebuilt at Chatham where it came to be used as a machine shop

A lovely brick-built pumphouse originally for the docks. Now a restaurant and distillery, there are distillery tours which you have to book. The interior looks stunning, I will plan a trip down here when I am not in my muddy walking gear.

The Six Bells is located in the heart of a countryside village, Cliffe. The Six Bells has been in the village since the 16th century, it was once accompanied by twelve other pubs, however it's now the last functioning public house. The reason for the name of the establishment is The St Helens Church which is located next door, which holds 6 bells.

Hoo Marina sits on the shore of Hoo Marina Park, a residential family-friendly park featuring a café, restaurant and convenience store. Grab yourself a refreshing beverage or bite to eat before you set off on the rest of your journey.
