Entrance to Brasted Hill Farm, Kent On approaching the farm gate, the two watchdogs - one a German Shepherd and the other a Dobermann - set up such a racket of barking that it must have been audible over half the County.  I took my photograph quickly and removed myself as rapidly as I was able.

Contradictory sign Sign on gate in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1062962">TQ4558 : Footpath south of Cudham</a>.  On the left is a picture of a dog on a lead inside a red circle, which standard road sign design implies "dogs on leads prohibited".  But underneath it specifically states "dogs must be kept on a lead at all times".  Fortunately I do not have a dog, so need not be too concerned about the contradiction.
