On leaving Halling and crossing Peters Village Bridge over the River Medway on a Sunday afternoon you might find tea available at Wouldham.

Turn left, or north, for Wouldham and Rochester.

Cream teas are served at All Saints’ Church Wouldham on Sundays 18 June, 16 July, 20 August and 17 September; 2-4.30pm.

This might also be handy for those wishing to walk south on the path out of Rochester.

Wouldham  Church dates from at least 1058 and has purser Walter Burke, who was present at Admiral Nelson’s death, buried in the churchyard.

Opposite the church lychgate is 16th-century Wouldham Court but note that bed and breakfast has ceased to be available there.
