Dartford has a busy, vibrant town centre with plenty of local businesses, a great choice of shops including the Orchards Shopping Centre, and a variety of pubs, cafes and restaurants. Just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of the town centre however, Central Park provides a calm getaway, a well-presented and maintained park with several footpaths, gardens, and the River Darent running through it.

This Active 10 walking route is 1 mile long in its entirety, consisting of between one and two complete Active 10s if you walk the whole route. However, feel free to walk as little or as much of the route as you feel able to.

From the pedestrianised High Street, head down Market Place and cross Market Street to enter Central Park. Walk through the gardens and into the open field, completing one loop of the park’s footpath. Exit the park the way you came in and return to the town centre.
