Walking is not only a fantastic way to stay healthy – it also does wonders for your mental health and is a great way to explore this beautiful county and spend time with friends and family.
In Kent and Medway we are lucky to have some stunning walking trails and country parks, as well as many pretty towns and villages to explore on foot. Walking can also be enjoyed as part of your regular daily routine or as an alternative to using the car for short journeys, with even a 10-minute brisk walk each day helping to improve your physical and mental wellbeing.
