Itinerary
1
Rochester Cathedral
England's 2nd Oldest Cathedral is a stunning example of Norman & Gothic Architecture.
We will visit the outside of the Cathedral, access to the interior is not always possible.
10 minutes
2
Rochester Castle
Incredible 1000 year old Norman stronghold which rivals the Tower of London for its size and strength.
We will visit the outside areas of the castle, the interior can be visited with a separate ticket.
15 minutes
3
Restoration House
The inspiration for Charles Dicken's Satis House in Great Expectations. This lovely mostly Jacobean house is still a private dwelling, but we will see the exterior and be wrapped up in the Dickensian atmosphere of its location.
