About This Event

We start in historic Rochester, exploring the charming High Street that inspired Charles Dickens, while taking in the views of the towering Norman Castle and Rochester Cathedral (England’s second-oldest). We then transition to the peaceful Medway Estuary coastal path, trading cobblestones for tidal marshes, active boatyards, Horrid Hill, and panoramic river views before finishing in Rainham. 🟡 **WALK:** 📏20km (12.4 miles) 💓 Av.
