Teston Bridge Country Park
This country park is set around the picturesque 14th century Teston Bridge on the banks of the River Medway in Teston, near Maidstone. A variety of wildlife can be spotted here – look out for otters which can be seen along the river.
The circular walk starts at the car park next to Teston Bridge and heads along the river to the village of Wateringbury, before crossing the River and returning to the start point on the opposite side.
