The climb to the top is worth it for the spectacular views it offers of the River Thames. Whilst at the summit visitors can also admire a warning beacon introduced by Richard II and last used during the Spanish Armada, and view the results of the Zepplin bombing raids during World War I. For those who prefer a less energetic outing, there are some pretty ornamental gardens to wander round, the centre piece of which is the memorial to those Gravesend residents who lost their lives during the two World Wars.

Friends of ours recommended an organised walk through Gravesend after which we spent a lovely summers afternoon on and aroung Windmill Hill.
The views were quite spectacular towards London Canary Wharf and over the Thames to Essex. In the evening the local conservation society had organised a jazz band (although not my kind of music) and locals bought their picnics and their children.
This high point in Gravesend was a high point of the Summer and I would recommend a visit to others.
