Kent Coast Walk - Gravesend to Cliffe!

hello sidder i beleive you bumped itnto my pal tony while we was down underground lol

The pub is called the ship and lobster and it’s located at Denton wharf that’s owned by the pla who control the river Thames from the deep sea to London and the red lighthouse was the old shorne mead light that was replaced by a modern light that is by shorne mead light

Hi.
Enjoyed this very much.
Our family moved to Cliffe 1964 and left 1982.
The marshes were our playground when we were growing up.There used to be a proper motorcycle Trials track down the marshes but it was closed down by the RSPB Who now own most of the land.
The buildings that you mentioned on your walk from the marshes to High Halstow were buildings used for making explosives during the war.
There were at one time five pubs in the village,the only one left is the Six Bells that’s the pub were the bus was parked up.
We lived at 136 Church St.On your walk to High Halstow you would of passed the village called Cooling.
If you drove from Cliffe to High Halstow you would of driven through it.
Cooling has a famous resident living in the castle,Jools Holland.

The houses pre-date the current spread industrial of industrial buildings. You'll get that a fair bit on the estuary and as far as into London. Probably Lightman's cottages.

Just subscribed too your channel,good luck mate nice videos . May I suggest birling hill junction with holy hill the views are amazing.

Try the culdrum stones near trottisclffe but use the back roads via luddesdowne, Cobham etc,it's a long walk but nice views down to the south downs on a clear day.

Hi Sydney just wanted to say I’ve been lovely your walks , in this walk you walked pass my grandads house I caught a glimpse of the end of it in cliffe , thanks for in great videos

I loved your video!

Really interesting walk, brought back many old memories. Thanks

Who is this nub? I'll walk and talk about an area i have no idea about! Those 3 houses on their own. Right next to port authority. That pub,where you would have seen the Whale (Benny was it?)That pub(Ship and Lobster if it hasn't changed) named a beer after it(i know. Pathetic).Then that metal structure is a conveyor for (i believe CLUB),the sand and cement people,to unload ships. meh...Why you bothering at all?

Very good indeed my friend 👍

Just after cliffs creek the film full metal jacket was made.

Very useful post. We are moving out of London right between cliffs and Gravesend to be closer to the countryside and enjoy long walks like you are on 😀

U sir r the John Rogers of Kent. Great find ta

Great video!

Watching again Xmas Day 2021. Relaxed walk. Thanks Sidders.

Wonderful creation of Almighty God Jesus Christ 🙏

I did this walk today, as far as st marys church on chalk...thanks.

Did anyone answer your question about the bush with the black berries? I believe it's wild privet. The berries sadly inedible

Well done Sidders, I'm walking here tomorrow so using your video for research! Never knew about Shornemead Fort, looks well worth an explore!

Late to the party but nice vid man, I've been meaning to walk it myself. I grew up playing the other side of the river so it's interesting and I appreciate the level of detail here, helps with plans RE taking the dog, photo opportunities and such. Cheers!

The Tilbury Ferry closed down this year sadly.
