Gamekeepers Hill
A Memory of Snodland.
I hope someone can help, my family lived in Snodland during the 60's and 70's. My father attended Holmesdale. He wrote a poem about Kent and mentions a place called gamekeepers hill, which we think was in or around Snodland as it was a place him and his siblings used to play when young during the 60's/70's and he said it was a place he would like to be buried near. now obviously he can't be buried in the woods and couldn't transport his body so he was cremated and we would like to scatter his ashes there instead. Does anyone know where this is? If it helps he also mentions lovers log.

I lived along the Malling Road opposite Cats Ally which i think now is a cul de sac with a Doctors surgery. As a youngster in the 60s and 70s i used to go up the north downs to play. I got up there by going along the path that goes up beside the cemetery at constitution hill, around where the Community centre is. There you can walk alone a path for a couple of miles through the countryside until you get to a T Junction in the path just before you start to climb the first steep hill. On the right after you climb a sty is what we knew as 'The Game keepers House'. Beside it the path climbs the first hill and surrounding you are woods. I realise that it is more Paddlesworth than Snodland but i just wondered if this is the place. I now live in north wales but every year when i go back to see my dad i always walk up there though to holy hill and back down just to get in touch with my roots. Hope this helps.
