Oare marshes.  (not sure whether these are referred to as Sittingbourne marshes)?  Otherwise Mote Park in Maidstone is great.  On way to Jeskyns is Ranscombe Farm - fantastic for long walks off lead.

We live near Chatham Kent and often go to Jeskyns as we're virtually on the M2, so quick to get to but will look into Ranscombe Farm as not heard of that one. Not sure the best place to access it as it gives various routes to access the walks. Is there a car park at a particular site?

It's not far from the entrance to the Strood tip.....there is a very small car park for about 10 cars max....be aware that sometimes the moocows are out on the hills......and you have to walk through them sometimes......I made my hubby take a detour through the streets and we got lost for a bit :005: :005: :005:

I know it. Thanks for the warning about the cows   :005:

 ;) ;)

There is another parking spot on the way to Jeskyns (just before Cobham roundabout).  Lane on the left - drive down that towards the Mausoleum.  If you walk past the mausoleum and through the woods, you can do a good circular walk, avoiding the cows in the field on the hill!
