The city of Rochester,although rather over- shadowed by Canterbury as regards tourism in Kent,is nevetheless a very attractive city that has a good deal of history and heritage to offer the visitor. Rochester is only 30 miles from London and is a city that captivated that brilliant writer,Charles Dickens. The great author actually spent much of his childhood here and in the surrounding countryside. This old city occurs frequently in his novels. The High Street of Rochester houses the unique Charles Dickens Centre which is open daily. Every year too there is the celebrated Dickens Festival when there are costumed calvacades,musical extravangas,competitions,a grand firework display and street entertainments. Other attractions in this famous old city on the Medway include the Guildhall Museum, Six Poor Travellers House, a Norman Castle Keep and,of course, Rochester Cathedral,which is I,m told the second oldest in England after Canterbury.Rochester High Street has been restored to Victorian splendour and is delightful to walk along. There are tea rooms,curiosity shops and warm,convivial pubs to visit.All in all Rochester is a nice place to visit and makes a great day out from London.
