Maidstone Millennium River Park
Maidstone Millennium River Park is situated along the banks of
the River Medway between Teston and Allington. The park is unique
in its rural character at both ends and its urban ambience as it
passes through the Town Centre.
This River Park is one of the lasting legacy projects funded in
part by the National Lottery to celebrate the new
millennium.
You can walk 10km (6.6 miles) along the River Medway
from Teston Country Park, which includes a picnic area, to
Allington where there is the Museum of Kent Life and Cobtree Manor
Park and Golf Course.
Along the route are three nationally-acclaimed pedestrian
bridges, riverbank and footpath improvements, more than 1500 new
trees and in Maidstone an amphitheatre.
The River Park was started in 1998 and completed in 2001, after
some fo the worst floods in living memory. It could not have
been realised without the substantial support of the Millennium
Commission, Maidstone Borough Council, Kent County Council, the
Environment Agency, the Maidstone Trust and numerous companies,
trusts, schools clubs and individuals throughout Kent.
