This is Chatham Road and follows the course of a Roman road.

A Roman road and the former route of the A229, two-way for access for most of its length, but the final connection to the current A229 is one way southbound. A popular stopping place, but the sign at the right prohibits overnight parking in four languages.

On the Old Chatham Road, now fairly quiet after bypassing by the current A229.
