Overview

A nice walk taking in parts of the Medway Valley Walk along the River Medway. From East Malling we head towards the pretty village of Aylesford, crossing an ancient bridge then a brief detour to look at the Priory. We then make our way to Peter's Village, before re-crossing the Medway and heading towards Strood, then past some lakes, before returning back to the start.

Please bring a packed lunch. Pub stop at end of hike only.
