Scenic Green Trail

The Scenic Green Trail is a long-distance walking route around the Borough of Maidstone, created by local resident Phil Riches. It follows public footpaths and short road sections to connect nature reserves, green spaces, and historic villages. The trail showcases diverse landscapes including woodlands, meadows, orchards, rivers, and lakes, as well as charming villages with rich architecture.

The route is divided into seven manageable sections and includes practical information such as accommodation, pubs, shops, rest stops, and public transport links. Walkers are reminded to respect private land, stay on paths, and avoid littering or camping. The best time to walk is from mid-March to the end of October.

This great new walk includes Tovil and Loose in Sections 2 and 3. Please use the QR code to see the detailed plan.

Section 2: From Wateringbury to Tovil.
From East Farleigh, the walk crosses the River Medway at Tovil, continues up Wharf Road and the Reeds cut through, and then crosses Old Tovil Road.

Section 3: Tovil to Boughton Monchelsea
The walk then goes down Woodbridge Drive, picks up the footpath at the end of the road, passes by the ponds at Crisbrook, climbs up to Hayle Park Nature Reserve. It then winds down to Bockingford and follows the River Loose to The Chequers at Loose.
