Walking through the cobbled streets of Kent’s County Town, the many unique listed buildings are testimony to Maidstone’s vivid history.

The ideal place to find out more is Maidstone Museum & Bentlif Art Gallery. Situated at the heart of the town, this exceptionally fine regional museum is housed in the Elizabethan Chillington Manor.

The ‘Maidstone Connections’ gallery gives an insight into the local and social history of the area. Other captivating collections include costume history, Egyptian, Japanese and Earth Heritage.

Then take a guided stroll through Maidstone's historic town centre before taking a break for lunch in one of the many traditional pubs or modern bistros. In the afternoon, why not indulge in some retail therapy?

Maidstone has a great mix of high street names and specialist boutiques, such as those in the Royal Star Arcade. In Gabriel’s Hill, you will find the oldest shoe shop in the country which still bears the wonderful trade sign of a Wellington boot.
