The second in a series of four artist walks Ruth Ewan’s walk, encompassed Kingsferry Bridge, Iwade, Ridham Dock and the strange “elephants’ graveyard” of decaying Thames barges in the mouth of the Medway.

The walk began and ended at Swale Station, with an artist’s pamphlet provided to each walker.

Artist Walks is a collaborative project with the School of Music and Fine Art at the University of Kent. It is supported by Kent County Council.
