Poppies and mallow are prominent amongst other wild flowers in this colourful road verge on Cooling Street, just north of the hamlet of Cooling Street. Just ahead is a bridge carrying the freight line which crosses the Hoo Peninsula. This single track railway line runs from Hoo Junction to Thamesport. Passenger services ran on the line from 1882 to 1961. The line is still used for freight and a long train of containers can occasionally be seen trundling across the Isle of Grain to join the main line between Higham and Gravesend.
