The county town of Kent, Maidstone, is a large town sitting astride the River Medway. Indeed, the river has been central to much of Maidstone’s development, carrying agricultural trade from the Garden of England to elsewhere.
Maidstone has a fascinating history, dating back to the Stone Age, but since World War II it has established itself as a service centre, with a focus on commerce. Additionally, Maidstone boasts a jam-packed calendar of year round events, with a mixture of different attractions, and is just a short-distance from the impressive Leeds Castle.
