A Hidden Gem of History in Maidstone
Over the last few years, I’ve spent a lot of time in Maidstone going about day-to-day tasks—but after joining the Stepping Back in Time walking tour with Daren, I was genuinely blown away. I never realized just how much rich and fascinating history was right under my nose. The town is filled with fabulous buildings, hidden ancient bridges, beautiful riverside walks, and tranquil green spaces that I had simply overlooked.
Daren’s tour was paced perfectly and packed with interesting stories and facts. His knowledge of Maidstone and wider historical context is clearly extensive, and he delivered it all in a way that was fun, engaging, and inclusive for everyone on the tour.
There’s even the Maidstone Museum to explore—I’ll be saving that for another day!
Whether you’re a local or visiting from afar, I can’t recommend this tour enough. I’d happily do it again and would join any other tour Daren offers. A truly eye-opening experience!

Fascinating walk. I didn’t realise there was so much history in Maidstone and how important it’s location was in terms of industry. Daren was extremely knowledgeable and had planned the walk carefully, starting at the train station, walking down to the river and along the bank to the Archbishops Palace, stopping from time to time with snippets of history. We then walked up Gabriel’s Hill to Jubilee Square where Daren explained about the markets in the town. Across to Fremlin Walk, named after a brewery which used to be there. From there across the shopping centre to where Maidstone museum is. Then finishing the walk outside the prison. It was 2 hours well spent and Daren made history interesting!

I wasn’t sure what the tour would be like, or how much Maidstone had to offer historically. We were pleasantly surprised and the 2 hours flew past! Darren brought to life Maidstone’s rich history with a blend of facts, stories and quirky details. It was a fantastic thing to do on our doorstep and I look forward to sharing this experience with visiting friends
