Rochester Castle Rochester Castle English Heritage

Description


The impressive keep of the castle, ruined in the 13th century during King John's wars with the Barons, is one of the defining sights of the Medway towns. It's impressive location by the side of the Medway with the gaping holes where windows used to be, looking like gaping wounds in the side of the castle, make for an eerie sight. You can climb to the top of the keep for stunning views along the Medway and across the roof of the neighbouring Cathedral
