Maidstone
Maidstone is a peaceful town set in the heart of Kent. The surrounding countryside is mainly used for growing hops, and walks along the towpath of the river Medway take in the beautiful scenery of the Medway Valley Walk which meanders through the hop gardens and fruit orchards of the area. There are many places of historic and architectural interest to visit dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, such as the Archbishops Palace, All Saints Church, Archbishops stables and Corpus Christi Hall. For places to stay and to eat in the town, there are an abundance of pubs, bistros and restaurants that will cater to a wide range of tastes and budgets. From country house hotels to budget bed and breakfasts, there's no shortage of great accommodation here.
