Gillingham is located on the banks of the Medway River and is one of Kent's Medway towns, and also home to Kent's only professional football club. Shopoholics will be delighted with the number of shopping facilities in this main retail centre for the Medway area, which includes a bustling street market every Saturday and Monday. The town is great for golf enthusiasts as it houses many courses for beginners, intermediate and pro golfers. No visit here is complete without a trip to the Chatham Dockyard, which is currently awaiting World Heritage listing; the paddle steamer Kingswear Castle is also located here. Gillingham hotels come in all budgets, from hostels to luxurious bed and breakfasts, with most accommodation at the mid-range level. The town is easily accessible by train and car, with trains arriving from London's Charing Cross and Victoria stations and the M2 and A2 passing through the outskirts of town.
