Behind Maidstone’s bustling streets lies a secret world shaped by centuries of power struggles, hidden sanctuaries, and high-stakes drama. This self-guided audio tour invites you to peel back the town’s elegant layers, uncovering cryptic tales and forgotten battles in places even locals overlook.

Which case at Maidstone Law Courts sent shockwaves through the nation? Who vanished behind the silent stones of St Peter’s Church—never to be seen again? What ancient rebellion once echoed in the candle-lit halls of Archbishop's Palace and changed English history?

Wander beside the River Medway as past and present collide at every corner. Move from solemn courtyards to mysterious chapels, following whispers of scandal, courage, and lost dreams. See Maidstone’s storied landmarks not as museum pieces but as stages where real destinies shifted.

Begin now—let the city reveal its deeper secrets beneath your feet.
