So much to see right on my doorstep ....
Follow in the footsteps of Charles Dickens with a wander through the streets of historic Rochester, with its Norman castle, it was a place cherished by the Victorian novelist, who lived in the area as a child and returned as a successful author.

With history dating back centuries, there is so much to see and do in the historic city itself. Explore the stunning Rochester Cathedral, founded in 604 and the second oldest in England. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the top of one of the tallest keeps in the country at the magnificent Rochester Castle. Built on the highest part of Rochester’s Roman city wall, to defend the crossing of the River Medway.

Dickens’ most impressionable childhood days were spent in Medway. Historic Rochester inspired the author so much that he featured it in his work more than any city, other than London. Many of the buildings that featured in the works of Dickens can still be seen today.

These include Restoration House, used in Dickens’ novel ‘Great Expectations’, The Six Poor Travellers House, immortalised by the author in a Christmas short story and the impressive Guildhall Museum. Nearby is Eastgate House a grade I listed building that featured in the works of Dickens and in the gardens visitors can view the author's chalet that was once sited at his home at Gad's Hill Place in Higham.
When visiting Rochester, it's worth making the Medway Visitor Information Centre your first port of call. Here you will find information on local attractions, maps, souvenirs and much more, including an art gallery and Huguenot Museum.
Visitors can easily explore the city on foot with a local guide or they can literally follow in the footsteps of Dickens’ on a self-guided walking tour. Twilight walking ghost tours also available for the brave!
Plus Rochester Cathedral is currently hosting the fabulous Museum of the Moon exhibition, with a whole array of activities themed around the Moon.
