Why it's Wildland
5.0A broad coastal park on the Medway estuary, where walking and cycling trails meet salt-marsh scenery, open estuary views and opportunities to watch wildlife.
The appeal here is the meeting of coast and accessible green space: a large parkland landscape with trails, estuary views and wildlife-watching opportunities. It offers room to explore, rather than just a single viewpoint.
