THE KENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY PLACE-NAMES GROUP PRESENTS: A WALK AROUND THE MEOPHAM ANGLO-SAXON CHARTER BOUNDARY
The KAS Place-Names Group plan a guided walk following a possible route of the Meopham Anglo- Saxon charter boundary on Saturday, 20th May. Group member John Death, who has made a detailed study of the boundary, will lead the walk. While places are free, they are limited, owing to the logistics and safety risks of leading a large group of people around the countryside and along some public roads.
Walk date: Saturday 20th May 2023
Time: 1.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. approx
Start: Meopham Railway Station (car parking is available, but there is a charge)
Finish: Meopham Railway Station
Distance: 7.7 kms or a little under 5 miles
Grade: easy, though some steep hills in places, a mixture of (mostly) minor roads and public footpaths through woods and open countryside
Further details: we hope to break the walk for a brief rest and refreshment at the Cock Inn, Henley Street, Luddesdown.
Members of the Place-Names Group trialled the route on 14th August 2021.
