Which part of Kent? I hope it’s not hanging around the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery!

From memory, I think the road bends just before the gates so if you missed the bend you would end up driving into the gates.

Incidentally, the grounds are surrounded by an anti tank fence made out of old railway line yet there is a public footpath through the grounds across the driveway.

It looks a bit fancy but it was common for muskets to be used as clubs when they’d been fired and there was no time to reload. I guess bayonets are the modern variant of this idea.

I’m not sure about the quality of the welding near the waterline.
