Rochester

Rochester

Many great cities have been built around a river. Rochester is no exception; the River Medway winds its way through Rochester, Chatham and Strood which, collectively, form the City of Rochester-upon-Medway. The whole area is immensely rich in fine buildings and architecture representing virtually every era of history.

Surrounding Rochester are miles of beautiful countryside, dotted by tiny Kentish villages, ancient churches and castles. Whichever period of history interests you, Rochester-upon-Medway is the place where you can allow your imagination to run free and be transported back in time.
