Let's discover the best of Historic Maidstone in Kent

Discovering Kent's county town through the eyes of a tourist with an interest in its history.

We start by the college of All Saints, and loop back via the Hermitage Millennium Amphitheatre. After crossing the Lockmeadow Millennium Bridge over the River Medway to visit 'The Stag'.

Crossing back and up the ancient Old College Horseway, we loop around All Saints Church, disappointed it is closed, before heading onto the Archbishop's Palace. Our luck is in when we wander into the Apothecary's Garden.

Nearby, we take in the Tithe Barn that houses the Tyrwhitt-Drake Museum of Carriages before crossing the road to look at the Rootes Building as it undergoes redevelopment. A stroll around the corner we take a look at Drakes and the Martyrs' plaque, remembering those burnt at the stake in 1557 for their faith.

We stroll up Maidstone's High Street & Bank Street, taking in some of the fine buildings that line it. A peek down Gabriel's Hill, we return to Jubilee Square and sneak off along Market Buildings, getting a distinctly French feel at the end.

Onto Earl Street, we catch the Hazlitt Theatre before wandering down towards Corpus Christi Hall, and then across to Fremlin Walk, scooting through to reach St Faith's Street and the Maidstone's Museum & Art Gallery. No time to visit this time, but one for our next visit.

Passing Maidstone's Museum & Art Gallery, we head into a parched Brenchley Gardens before making our way to the Old Session House and County Hall.

We complete the journey by heading past Maidstone East railway station and picking up the towpath next to the River Medway that takes us back to the Archbishop's palace.
