I went to the park for a walk. A beautiful green place offering great opportunities for walking, running, cycling and much more. there you can feed floating birds and fishing.

Maybe obvious to others, but because some of the signage was missing/hidden when we visited didn't realise that the public footpath intersects with the castle grounds which is private and which you must pay in order to use. The grounds are very pretty, but the entry ticket seem very expensive to me. You can still get nice views of the castle and grounds from the public footpath as well.

Hidden gem of a lush little valley in the heart of Maidstone. Nice walks with a quiet lake at the bottom of the park. Looked after by a dedicated group of volunteers https://vintersvalley.co.uk

Brooklands Lake was once a sand and gravel pit but now a haven for wildlife and a lovely calm place for a walk. It is a popular place for fishing and bird watching alike.

Leybourne Lakes Country Park is a popular area for walking, with a number of guided trails and routes available. As you hike around here you're also likely to see a variety of watersports including open water swimming, stand up paddle boarding and windsurfing. It is an oasis of calm with plenty of wildlife and a dog friendly cafe.

Get place to walk the dog or for watersports!
