Vinters Valley is a 90 acre community-run nature reserve on the former grounds of an 18th-century estate between Vinters Park and Grove Green in Maidstone. Paths wind through woodland, grassland, marsh and along a stream to a lake with ducks and geese, and the easy Bluetit Trail takes about 20 minutes. Drop in for a short stroll or spend a couple of hours watching the wildlife.
