For more details on walks, please visit Medway Council's
walking page.
Medway Council also undertakes work to clear overgrown
vegetation from rights of way and in partnership with landowners,
carries out repair work to stiles, gates and small bridges. The
council looks at surface conditions and carries out repair work,
though it must be understood that due to their nature and location,
many paths will be of a relatively rough nature.
The council deals with blocked of rights of way and tries to
keep them as clear as possible.
