Description
This app is your pocket guide as you navigate your way around the attractions of the town on a series of trails. It reveals the fascinating history, hidden stories, and fun facts about the historic County Town of Kent, through specially themed routes.
The series of trails provides opportunities to explore away from the main thoroughfare and find unexpected and hidden gems. Or use the map to look up points of interests near you using GPS.
- Step into Maidstone's history of witches and mad priests, and an industrial heritage which has made global impacts.
- Walk in the footsteps of famous folk, colourful, creative and inspiring characters - Samuel Pepys and David Bowie among them!
- Keep the family entertained with the brass rubbing panels on a Nature Trail along the River Medway - a great way to discover the wildlife in the heart of Maidstone
- Explore Maidstone's dinosaurs and magical beasts with a new sculpture trail! - You'll want to know about Iggy!
- Discover the influence Maidstone had on Charles Dicken's work- encrypted and false names uncovered.
Of course you can sit back and let your fingers do the walking by tapping on the points of interest.
We will be adding more trails, audio and video so keep checking for updates, and make sure you have earphones ready.
Please give us your feedback and happy exploring!
The app is an initiative by Maidstone Borough Council, funded by the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund.

Ratings and Reviews
A good start
A good initial effort, though it seems to rely in parts on linking to web pages.
Let’s hope that the core application continues to be actively maintained, and that effort is put into expanding its scope for visitors (e.g. nearby historic Kits Coty neolithic stones) shown on the map section.
Perhaps Maidstone Borough Council should have included a specific contact email address inviting comment and contributions to what could go on to become an invaluable ‘past and present’ resource for residents and visitors alike.
So much information about Maidstone’s past
So much I didn’t know, great to browse through from your chair, and now looking forward to getting out there and following the trails.
A fun way to get the kids out, educational without them knowing it!
