Marden to Maidstone
A station-to-station walkKentSouth East England

MI
A route for confident walkers mixing pavement and path walking, dropping into the Loose valley on the Loose Greenway and climbing back out, then through fruit farms on overgrown, hard-to-follow paths, over field paths that get overgrown with brambles in summer. Not direct and with drops and climbs and a river crossing. Follows the Loose Greenway through Loose village. Can be walked in two sections, breaking at Linton.
Warnings: The route is difficult to follow between Linton and Marden, with overgrown paths through fruit farms and unclear markings in mid-summer; walkers have lost the route after crossing the Beult river and had to road-walk. Not suitable for beginners.
