Overview

We visit three of the six churches that make up The Six Benefice - Upchurch, Lower Halstow and Newington. Each has a distinctive style of tower. This walk takes us through the varied countryside that lays between Rainham and Sittingbourne. We will have a sandwich/picnic break at Lower Halstow. (ps. The other 3 churches in the Benefice are Iwade, Hartlip and Stockbury).
