Rainham is a small town situated on the Kentish coast, part of the
Medway towns which includes Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham,
currently bidding to be UK City of Culture 2025.
Stretching from a moderate rise of the North Downs, Rainham
descends to the River Medway’s natural harbour at the north of the
town. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and a number of national
parks, Rainham’s excellent road and rail links connect it easily with
London, Maidstone, Canterbury and Royal Tunbridge Wells. Over
two hundred years old, the town is peppered with thatched roofs
and Tudor beams. On the threshold of the picturesque area and its
contemporary amenities, Vesta Close is ideal for growing families, first
time buyers, commuters and those working from home.
Local Amenities
A well-developed residential area, Rainham offers a good selection of
schools, a shopping centre, a Tesco Extra, garden centre, restaurants,
pubs with beer gardens, social clubs and theatres. Rainham is host to
the first ever oast house theatre, where plays are still regularly put on.
Outdoor Activities
The local area is a haven for nature-lovers: dog-walkers, cyclists, hikers, birdwatchers
and equestrians will find a comprehensive network of maintained
trails leading through the unspoiled local countryside. Riverside Country park,
on the doorstep of Vesta Close, has a playground and walking trails, regularly
hosting activities for all the family. There are various habitats within the park,
including mudflats and salt marsh, ponds and reed-beds, grassland and
scrub, which provide a haven for wildlife.
The estuary has special protection as part of the Medway Marshes Site of
Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is internationally important for wintering
birds that thrive on the invertebrate-rich mudflats. The salt marshes have a
specialised ecology and act as high tide roost sites.
Also in the vicinity of Vesta Close you will find skate parks, football courts,
and two golf clubs, a tennis club, an ice-skating rink and a leisure pool with
slides. Within a short drive of Rainham you will find a selection of country parks
