Gillingham

Gillingham straddles the slopes rising from the River Medway in Medway, north Kent, and its riverside position long linked the town to the naval and industrial life of the estuary. At its southern edge, the Great Lines preserve open defensive ground created to protect nearby Chatham Dockyard; the Royal Engineers Museum documents the corps’ long association with the area. Riverside Country Park follows the tidal Medway through saltmarsh and former industrial land, providing a quieter counterpoint to the dense Medway towns. Chatham and Rochester lie immediately to the west, placing Gillingham within one of Kent’s historically maritime urban areas.
