Snodland to Maidstone East
Recommended: It's also a glorious route which cuts through Kent farmland. An easy, well-signposted and flat route, much of the made path being concrete, gravel or tarmac, cutting through Kent farmland and crossing a tidal and near-estuarine stretch of the Medway. Crosses a tidal, near-estuarine stretch of the River Medway near Allington Lock.
Woodland: a fifth under tree cover.
Time: 3h30–7h
Walk details: Slow Ways.
Snodland to Rochester
A varied walk along the railway and river before a very steep climb onto the North Downs, which it then follows with views over the Medway valley before descending. Includes pavement and riverside path and uphill roads without pavement.
Time: 3h–6h
Warnings: An awkward section runs alongside the busy A228, which must also be crossed with care. School Lane and Hill Road are narrow, uphill and without pavement, with a very steep climb onto the Downs.
Walk details: Slow Ways.
