What to expect

Explore the town made famous by Charles Dickens and visit one of England’s most impressive surviving medieval castle buildings: Rochester Castle. Discover Dover Castle - an icon of England, built soon after 1066, and the centre of the effort to evacuate the Allied troops from Dunkirk during WW2. Visit Capel Le Ferne, situated on the White Cliffs of Dover and home to The Battle of Britain Memorial.

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history as you traverse the cobbled streets and ancient town walls in Rochester, dating back to Roman times. Feel the echoes of the past in every corner, from the grandeur of the cathedral to the imposing presence of the castle. Enjoy some free with either a visit to Rochester Cathedral, a majestic symbol of history and architectural brilliance, or alternatively, wander through the town to discover the charming cafés and shops.

Chapel-le-Fern proudly hosts the Battle of Britain Memorial, honouring the valiant heroes who secured victory from July 10 to October 31. Initiated by the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust and opened by the Queen Mother in 1993, it features a poignant propeller-shaped base with a carved pilot figure by Harry Gray at its heart. Replicas of a Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire stand as tributes alongside the Christopher Foxley-Norris Memorial Wall, bearing the names of nearly 3,000 fighter aircrew.

Perched atop the White Cliffs, Dover Castle stands as a sentinel over the English Channel.
