Much of the land between Dully Road and Rodmersham Church Street is sheep pasture. It used to be orchards too - traditionally Kent farmers kept sheep and just happened to grow fruit trees on their pasture. They sold the crop on the tree for others to pick and sell. Then came cheap imported fruit and subsidies for farmers who uprooted their orchards. It leaves little shade for the sheep on a hot day though. The building at the top of the hill is Scuttington Manor.
