The busy A249 drops dramatically down the scarp slope of the north Downs at this point. This is looking west with Maidstone ahead and Sittingbourne behind. Traffic coming up the hill is often slowed to a crawl by heavy vehicles, while traffic going down may have to queue to the roundabout junction with the M20 about a mile further on.
