Maidstone offers some great things to do and see but almost everyone has limits on their budget. Don't let that stop you visiting because we have some great things to do and see for free or very low cost.
50 acres of parkland displaying a diverse and maturing collection of trees and shrubs. An excellent base and access point to the North Downs Way. Picnic site, cafe. Horse-riding by permit only.
Mote Park is an award-winning park with 450 acres of mature parkland and a 30 acre lake, providing a wide range of recreational activities. Children's play area, cafe open all year, miniature railway.
This is a free attraction where parachuting, balloons, stunt flights, pleasure flights, flying lessons, aerial displays, microlights, radio controlled flight and many different planes and helicopters go to and fro most weekends. You can watch free.
The White Horse Country Park is set within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The park offers beautiful countryside, local history and panoramic views and hosts the medieval ruins of Thurnham Castle.
This is an imposing ruined castle with a history dating from c.12th century. The great tower, which is the major remaining part of the structure, was once part of a much larger castle, which probably included an inner and outer bailey...
The Carmelite Friary founded in 1242 was dispossessed at the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII and was re-established in 1949. Lovely grounds and picnic areas. Tearooms, shop, pottery.
Getting out in the Kent countryside on a bike is a brilliant day out. Some of the cycle trails are suitable for families and easy going, others are harder for the serious cyclists. For leisure cyclists, with pub lunch there are lots of choices.
To make your visit as easy as possible we have some downloadable information not every location has the wifi speed you need and indeed sometimes you need to be off grid, so that you can enjoy things in a different way.
