  • We've heard good things about West Malling so we decided to head to this quiet Kent village to see what all the fuss is about.
    We grab ourselves a coffee and walk from Manor Park Country Park in to the village centre to explore the quaint historic streets and find some quirky hidden gems.
    Then we come across the famous West Malling Cascade (waterfall) and stumble upon the old county cricket ground before grabbing an iced latte from a local independent coffee shop.
    Then it's time to investigate the mysterious St Leonards Tower before heading back to the country park for a walk among the flower meadows.

    Growing up In upstate New York we did the butter test with dandelions rather than buttercups

    West Malling is such a gorgeous old village & definitely a place i would love to live , i love chocolate box type of places.
    There is nothing better then a lovely country walk with the birds tweeting & wind blowing through the trees.
    I used to love picking buttercups and seeing who liked butter ❤️❤️xx

    My favourite village. You covered it well. I was a local back in the 80s and I revist when I can it's a beautiful little place. I've lived all over the country, aborad also but that park is the home of my soul.
    I remember it being less modern which I prefer but I guess time catches up.
    Mote park is worth a visit too in Maidstone. And if it's still there West malling airfield or whats left of it. I stayed near there in my Gypsy youth, I found it very enchanting, surrounding area was mostly abandoned, old stables, church etc
    Thanks again for the video.

      I could imagine how beautiful it was when it was less modern. We love more park we’ve done a couple of videos in Maidstone .. somewhere we plan to visit again soon

      @@JJExtra it was beautiful, more in a way of rustic charm. I would walk most the areas, on some days, Tonbridge to Maidstone. Just a magical area in general. I live in Durham these days.
      I'll have a look at your Maidstone videos. 😁

    West Malling is such a pretty and interesting place. It was lovely to walk round with you seeing all the things you both felt were interesting. Reminds me of Rye with the black and white buildings. Do you look up all the facts of a place before you visit? Great vlog as usual, thankyou.
