Walks by the Water in Kent
Kent is home to an abundance of rivers, so is an amazing place to explore for those who love nothing more than a gentle riverside walk. From the Royal Military Canal to the River Medway we are spoilt for choice on where to wander along to enjoy some blue space.
Areas of blue space or rivers not only give a tranquil feel and really relax you; they also have great benefits for your mental health and wellbeing. Spending time near water can significantly increase your physical activity levels as well as lowering stress and anxiety.
With this in mind, we want to share with you some of the best riverside walks in Kent for you to enjoy for your mental health and wellbeing or even just to enjoy with your loved ones or family.
Make sure to look out for all the beautiful river wildlife and nature as well!
