See and Do

Gravesham is home to historic riverside towns, idyllic Kentish villages and outstanding countryside; epic events and experiences, legendary myths and stories. There’s a great choice of places to stay, eat and drink too.

For days out with the family there is plenty to see and do across the borough. You just need to choose.

For starters, there’s Gravesend’s riverside and its maritime heritage. Come and watch shipping entering and leaving the Port from a number of publicly accessible vantage points along the quayside and enjoy river trips too.

From early settlements to the present day, come and explore the historic places of worship and discover the famous people associated with the Borough. Read more on the area’s fascinating history on Discover Gravesham.

Nestling between the River Thames and the North Downs, the countryside to the east and south of Gravesend is an exceptional Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, containing ancient woodland and open space, with historic villages, windmills, country houses and cricket on the green.

With country parks, community woodlands, historic parklands and the CycloPark, Gravesham provides a range of quality outdoors activities for visitors to enjoy, on foot or by bike.

From walking through stories of the past to hiking or cycling the trails, from parkland picnics and vineyard tours to foodie catch-ups with friends - while enjoying a festival or two, Gravesham is full of places to discover with surprises at every turn.
