Rochester Countryside Circular Walk
Date: Sunday 2nd November 2025
Join us for a scenic and varied countryside loop beginning and ending in historic Rochester. This ~15.2 km (~9.5 mile) walk weaves through open farmland, riverside trails, and quiet woodland paths – the perfect mix of rural calm and sweeping views. Along the way, we’ll follow beautiful sections of both the North Downs Way and the Medway Valley Walk, giving you a flavour of two of Kent’s most iconic long-distance trails in one circular route. With estuary views, wide Kentish skies, and peaceful stretches of countryside, this is an ideal autumn outing that balances movement, nature, and connection.
