The Medway river
Recognised as one of Britain's most important waters for leisure activities, the River Medway joins the Thames Estuary at Garrison Point, Sheerness. Its lower reaches, bounded by numerous creeks, offer extensive and safe sailing waters supported by boating clubs, marinas and boatyards offering a warm welcome to visiting craft.
The total river extends upstream for nearly 25 nautical miles and, although most sailing craft are unable to pass the fixed bridge at Rochester, motor craft can access a further 19 nautical miles of non-tidal waters above Allington Lock, through some of the Garden of England's most attractive countryside, to Tonbridge.
