Overview

An opportunity to see the 10 sculptures on Kings Hill.  The walk will pause at each sculpture for a brief description of the artwork.  The walk finishes near the Control Tower and there will be time to read the text on the RAF roundels and find the 12 brass reliefs set in the pavement including the one of the Magical Mystery Tour bus marking the day The Beatles visited West Malling Airfield (now Kings Hill) in 1967.
