Private Day Tour to Rochester Castle and the Town of Charles Dickens from London

Description

Rochester, originally a Roman settlement, boasts a 12th-century castle with a stone tower known as a keep.

Although much of it is now in ruin, it still one of the best-preserved, and tallest, medieval structures in England or even France. 

Standing on the banks of the River Medway, Kent, it has played a strategic role in England’s defence for centuries, having experienced various sieges.

Even the Normans built an original structure during the 11th century.

Rochester is a unique destination. A famous local was Charles Dickens. 

Rochester inspired his literary works and, today, visitors can follow in his footsteps and marvel at the area’s medieval architecture, its historic cathedral, and with a Dickensian twist!

Here’s your opportunity to add something different to your visit to England so many still miss.

This tour can be delivered as a day tour on its own, (as listed); or please enquire if you wish to add to an overall day trip with another destination in Kent.
