I went down there two weeks ago and was struck by the location (only forty minutes from home) and the fact that there was a castle, and a cathedral, both close to the river. I thought it would be ideal for a Sunday jaunt.
Well the sun may be out, but the old adage about "casting a clout" was certainly true! It was lovely and bright out, but definitely a bit on the chilly and blowy side (as you can see, I don't normally look that windswept)
Literally adjacent (if Mark had turned 180 degrees with the camera) to Rochester Cathedral is the Castle. The Cathedral is free to walk round, but they charge £5 to nose around the castle, so we gave that a miss and just wandered round the grounds instead.
The Castle is in the background. Mark looks full of the joys of Spring, bless him!
There was a fire in a pub yesterday, which has resulted in a road closure on the route into Rochester. Getting in was easy, getting out was an entirely different matter, clear road divert directions do not seem to be Medway council's strong point. We moved from the car park at 15.37, and finally got away from Rochester at 16.14. Ho hum...
