5 /5 Joette Rafayele: I went for a long walk at Riverside Country Park the other morning, and it’s such a beautiful spot for catching the breeze off the Medway. I love how the scenery shifts from open grasslands to the salt marshes and mudflats—there is something really peaceful about watching the tide go out and seeing all the wading birds picking through the shoreline.
The paths are great because they are nice and flat, making it an easy stroll whether youre heading toward Motney Hill or just doing a shorter loop near the visitor centre. I stopped for a coffee at the café afterward, and it was the perfect way to end the morning. It’s one of those places that feels really spacious and wild, but still has everything you need for a comfortable day out. It’s definitely my go-to when I need to clear my head and see a bit of the horizon.
