Farningham Brick Bridge and Mill

The white houses in the background are interesting. I've heard storys linking these to early American houses.

River Side Tea Room

Highlight • Cafe

Great spot for a coffee before you hit the climb up Bower Lane.

Quiet enough to leave your bike outside if you’re sitting in, or else get a takeaway and park yourself by the stream across the road.
