River Medway
The River Medway was opened to navigation over 250 years ago when water-borne transport was in its heyday. Today the river between Maidstone and Tonbridge is maintained as a public right of navigation, enabling water users to experience the delightful scenery of the Garden of England.
The river is popular with canoeists and anglers and trips can be taken on the river by pleasure boat or under your own power in a rowing boat.
There are opportunities to visit the locks or parks near the river and enjoy the views of weirs, meadows, pastures, medieval bridges and oast houses. There are several villages on, or close to the rivers which provide ample occasion for the traveller to explore and take refreshment.
The Navigation Authority for the Medway between Allington and Tonbridge is The Environment Agency.
