Maidstone has the benefit of having the beautiful River Medway right in its town centre, and it is there where this Active 10 walking route leads us. In just a few minutes, you can be away from the hustle and bustle of the shops and businesses of this busy town, and enjoying the peace and tranquility of the riverbank.
This Active 10 walking route is 1.8 miles long in its entirety, consisting of three complete Active 10s if you walk the whole route. However, feel free to walk as little or as much of the route as you feel able to.
The route starts at the underpass which takes you from the town centre, under the A229 and onto the Medway Towpath. Turn right and follow the river path north as it tracks alongside the A229, eventually passing the Gallagher Stadium, where a bridge on your left-hand side take you across the river and into Whatman Park. Turn right after crossing the bridge and complete a loop of the park before walking back across the bridge, and returning to the river path, heading back towards the town centre.
