Upper Halling and the lost village of Dode

A circular walk from Upper Halling with lovely views over the Medway valley including the Medway bridge and Rochester Castle.  Taking in a section of the North Downs Way.  Passing Dode Church (now deconsecrated), a tiny Norman building.  The village of Dode was wiped out by the Black Death in 1349.  There should be some lovely autumn colours in the woodland areas.
