64. ABOUT NORTHFLEET AND GRAVESEND. 



Northfleet and Gravesend are in juxtaposition, so much so that the 

 houses are continuous above the chalk banks which form the river frontage. 

 The excavations are of immense extent, and about Gravesend especially are 

 replete with verdure and foliage. Beyond this place in the direction of 

 Cobham, is gently rising ground, with a subsoil of chalky grit and culti- 

 vated ; but by the river-side wide flats are seen, now drained and converted 

 into pasturage (formerly marshy), extending beyond Higham and Cliffe to 

 the mouth of the Medway ; near Northfleet are also flats by the river, 

 and at Swanscombe is a wood rich in plants, as are also the roads and lanes 

 inland through Southfleet and Betsome. This locality, therefore, is a good 

 one for field botany, and of easy access.
