Maidstone is the county town of Kent, set on the River Medway in the heart of the 'Garden of England'. A market town since medieval times, it grew on brewing, papermaking and the trade in local produce, hops and fruit. The historic Archbishop's Palace and All Saints' Church line its riverside. Surrounded by orchards, castles and vineyards, and with fast trains to London, Maidstone has a busy and varied rental market.
