Always clean and well kept. There's a children's playground, a small pond sectioned off for pond dipping and education purposes. Then you can do a fairly gentle nice walk up the spit and back, you don't have to follow the same path which is nice. Parking available on site. Small cafe selling typical council catered items from those large catering companies.

Great place to come for a walk, good to check the tide charts first though (much prettier at high tide). Very relaxing. Decent facilities and plenty of (paid) parking.

It is a lovely country park where you can take several different paths through the woods or stroll along the water side. You can try to spot rabbits and many different birds. People come to jog, cycle, walk a dog or for a family walk. The parking is a one off charge for a day.

Nice place to come to take a stroll along the Medway, sit on one of the many benches or do a spot of birdwatching. It’s is very today so don’t expect to see much water at low tide, just miles of mud flats. The coastal walk and Saxon shore way pass through here. Unfortunately the council have taken the decision to charge for the car parks here.
