Medway is an area with something for everyone.
There are leisure facilities for all ages, ranging from the
latest sports attractions to country
parks. The council also runs a number of leisure centres in Medway.
The area is well known for its rich heritage. The Romans and
Normans each left their mark and the area also has a long seafaring

great landmarks.
Charles Dickens grew up in Chatham
and Rochester. Many of Dickens’ books feature places and buildings
in Medway.
