Medway Valley Walk, Riverside trail in Kent, England
The Medway Valley Walk extends for 28 miles through Kent's landscape, connecting Tonbridge to Rochester along the River Medway through orchards and meadows.
Archaeological evidence reveals Roman villas in valley settlements, while Rochester Castle and Tonbridge Castle mark strategic military positions from medieval periods.
The path passes through market towns and rural communities where industries like paper making, brewing, and iron production shaped local development.
Walkers can obtain route guides from Kent Libraries or follow the Kingfisher logo waymarks using Ordnance Survey Explorer Maps 136, 147, 148, and 163.
The trail features ten navigational locks and multiple bridges, allowing observers to watch fish and birds in the river's ecosystem.
