Not far from Appledore was the Ferry Inn, curiously named as the river by the pub is now tiny. But this wasn’t always the case, and the ferry used to run across the River Rother to the Isle of Oxney.

Excellent beers, and we each had a steak burger wrapped in a toasted tortilla – a combination we’d not seen before:

As you can see, the burger was enormous, and perfectly cooked with the meat just pink in the middle.

After that we needed some exercise, so on with the walking boots along the “Reading Sewer”, the water that now flows past the pub:

Further on was a little hill with a nice path leading up it:

and nice views of the Isle of Oxney from the top:

From there, we walked on down and then round back to the pub – a very warm walk though there was a little breeze at the end.
