Rochester, Medway

Rochester in Kent is known best for its cathedral and castle which are right next to each other. Often referred to as Rochester-upon-Medway it has in recent times been an important strategic military city. Despite several websites indicating otherwise Rochester is lost its city status through error and council mergers and it is now just a mere town.

The town of Rochester with its tea rooms, cafes and restaurants is a quaint little place nestling by the Medway. The impressive bridge over the Medway was built in 1915. The castle grounds are definitely worth a visit and give you some good views over the landscape.
