Overview
This remarkable film traces the passage of the River Medway from its source on Turner's Hill in Sussex to the historic town of Aylesford, long associated with the Anglo-Saxon conqueror Hengist. There is particular attention paid to the many ancient bridges that cross the river at various points on the journey. We pass a number of castles, locks and stretches of river, where day-trippers can be seen relaxing on the water and numerous anglers fish from its banks.
