Maidstone Scenic Green Trail

About

The Scenic Green Trail is a long-distance walking route around the Borough of Maidstone, created by local resident Phil Riches. It follows public footpaths and short road sections to connect nature reserves, green spaces, and historic villages. The trail showcases diverse landscapes including woodlands, meadows, orchards, rivers, and lakes, as well as charming villages with rich architecture.

The route is divided into seven manageable sections and includes practical information such as accommodation, pubs, shops, rest stops, and public transport links. Walkers are reminded to respect private land, stay on paths, and avoid littering or camping. The best time to walk is from mid-March to the end of October.

Enjoy the journey, support local businesses, and make lasting memories!
