This field of globe artichoke next to Roper's Green Lane is very colourful - see https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=artichoke&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=94IQUs1Mo7LRBaqggZAC&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=511 Roper's Green Lane is shown as a byway on the map and is also followed by the Saxon Shore Way. The lane is beyond the hedge on the left. The Saxon Shore Way follows Kent's ancient coastline. In many places this is now miles inland. The Saxon Shore Way is named after the line of historic fortifications that defended the Kent coast at the end of the Roman era. It is 160 miles long and runs from Gravesend to Hastings.
