Great country park along the river. This walk goes for miles if you follow it and is really enjoyable with the dog. Parking is plentiful and there is a cafe here so you can get a coffee and a snack. Be careful when near the water when the tide is out as there is glass in amongst the mud.

Beautiful and well maintained area. Visited in the summer and it was full of long tailed tits, whimbrel and redshanks. Full of lovely fruit trees and even though it’s managed they have still allowed it to ReWild and grow in certain areas attracting all sorts of wildlife.

Riverside Country Park, Lower Rainham Road,Gillingham, Rainham, Kent This area is one of the few places left, where residents and visitors alike can enjoy the nature’s offerings, walk or ride a bike. You are also able to exercise you dogs in this area. There is a reasonable size car park at the main entrance as well as a children's play area and a cafe. There are a few other smaller car parks on either side of the main entrance. Parking is free at present but there will be a £2.50 parking charge from 2nd September 2024. The walkway stretches for a few miles in both directions and is suitable for wheelchair and mobility vehicles by and large. The route is lined with wild bushes but also intermittent blackberry bushes, apple, pear and damson trees. This oasis provides a sanctuary for the wildlife but also for locals to exercise and de stress alone or with their families. It is hoped that the new charges do not prove to be too costly and prohibitive.
