## Points of Interest

### Camer Country Park

The park covers 46 acres of parkland and woodland and 
						there is a small caf'. It is noted for its wildlife, 
						particularly slow worms and common lizards. The park is 
						very popular with dog owners, which some visitors find 
						off-putting.  The mature parkland was once the 
						grounds of Camer House, formerly the home of the 
						Smith-Masters family built in the 17th and 18th 
						centuries and now Grade II listed. The estate was sold 
						to Strood Council in 1967 and later transferred to Kent 
						County Council but the house was retained in private 
						ownership and is now divided into several dwellings.

### Luddesdown Church

Much of the church was 14th century or earlier until 
						the nave roof collapsed in 1865.  The church was 
						rebuilt and decorated with wall paintings which remain 
						its outstanding feature.  Unfortunately it is 
						difficult to find a time when the church is open other 
						than for services and specific events.

### The Wealdway

From the lodge at the edge of Camer Park all the way 
						to Great Buckland Farm, this walk follows the
						[Wealdway](https://kent.ngx-ramblers.org.uk/walks/routes/long-distance-paths/wealdway), an 82 mile 
						walk from Gravesend to Eastbourne across some of our 
						finest countryside.

### Public Transport

The most northerly point of the walk is just 300 
						metres from Sole Street station.  Alternatively you 
						can walk from Hook Green which is served by the 308 bus 
						from Borough Green (not Sundays).
