I haven't noticed any damp on the wall inside. I've been checking daily . Hadn't thought about removing the path and replacing with gravel. Something else to think about . Thank you

I've had a look today and I really can't see any evidence of a DPC. I'm sure there is one of course but its very well hidden !

it's a possibility we have an extractor over the cooker but its not vented to the outside . It's one of the pull out ones with a filter in . Doesn't do much at all but it matches the kitchen at the moment . I was hoping for a cheaper alternative!
