Queendown Warren

Decamped and headed for the RSPB reserve, Elmley Marshes, on the Isle of Sheppy only to find it is closed on Tuesdays. So change of plan. We went instead to Queendown Warren another chalk grassland where we were shown meadow clary. In the afternoon we went to Leeds Castle, but the entrance fee of £15 each put us off going in – we had an ice-cream instead. From here we headed to the next campsite at Penham, south of Canterbury. A very quite site. In the evening drove to Park Gate Down to see monkey orchid and columbine.
