The Kingfisher Medway Trust Boat trip

With funding from the Rotary Club of Medway, we are offering a journey on The Kingfisher Medway Trust Boat Trip!

The Trip:

Under Teston Bridge

At a leisurely pace, we take you through some of the most beautiful countryside in Kent. Out on the water, enjoying the river, its wildlife and the many points of interest along the way.

Cruising downstream we pass under Teston Bridge, one of the oldest pack horse bridges in the country, then on to East Farleigh and its church with a Norman tower.

Nettlestead Place

Upstream we pass Nettlestead Place, a Doomsday Book manor house, then through Hampstead Lock, past Teapot Island with its museum of over 3,900 teapots and on towards East Peckham and Beltring.

You will see geese and swans, perhaps a heron or kingfisher, as well as a wealth of wildflowers. If you don’t know a Coot from a Moorhen or Cuckooflower from Hairy Bitter-cress we have a book on board to help you.
