Overview

A short walk initially on the North Downs Way, including crossing the enormous bridge across the Medway, which is noisy but has some great views. We will then walk along the Medway Valley Walk to reach Rochester in time to explore the sights and have lunch if you wish. Please note although this is a shorter walk it will be fast paced.
