A great castle, ruin only. Nice location next to the cathedral. Great views from the top of the keep, obviously many stairs involved. Little shop at the entrance and a little cafe/ ice cream shop in the castle grounds. Castle itself has a fee the grounds are free. Parking available chargeable.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Absolutely beautiful. Lovely outing with children. Good picnic spot. Lots of green space for little kids to play or tarmac for scooting and biking Beautiful view of the cathedral and Medway river. The castle is a must to visit. It's a steep climb but with a lot of rest stops. I did it with my 6 month old in a baby carrier. The views at the top of the castle are breathtaking. Castle grounds have a cafe selling yummy ice cream, hot drinks snacks and burgers.
A great castle ruin to attend for an hour or so. There is a small gift shop, as well as multiple information boards throughout the castle to read all about the history and the different types of rooms that used to be there. As others note, there are a lot of staircases, some of which are very tight, so please keep that in mind! It’s very near to Rochester High Street as well as the Cathedral, which is free to enter. Would recommend!
Lots of steps! But so worth it for the views. We really enjoyed our time there. It's very near to the Cathedral and the river, so we did one after the other for a great walk - awesome day out. Beautiful city.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
You need to be steady on your feet to go from the cess pit to the top of the castle. Many many steps and ancient circular stair cases to negotiate. Very interesting and informative though. Lots of information to read and an audio system too. The views are fantastic too. Well worth a visit. Someone needs to cheer some of the staff up a bit, but they were helpful.
Great castle! Interesting facts & can explore most of it & go to the top & see the beautiful views. Very reasonable admission price £7 something that you can buy in the little shop just inside the entrance.
Wonderful castle to visit with over 200 steps to clamber around. If you don't like heights, you might not be keen on this! It's all safe though, and there's several benches to sit down and catch your breath on! Reasonably priced, probably takes about 45 minutes to go round and read about from the info boards. Dramatic views from the top across Rochester and beyond.
A lovely place to visit with great views from the top. A great castle to walk around, lots of stairs and lots to see around it. Small gift shop at the entrance. Really enjoyed it here and will definitely come again.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We visited Rochester Christmas market which is in the grounds of the castle and so had to visit. There were a few steps up to the entrance, with the ticket office situated in the little shop. Then there were a couple of steps down to the beginning of the tour, this is situated inside the main part of the castle with the walls surrounding, there were also many nets around to protect from any falling debris or birds. The circular staircase took you down to the base area and also up to other floor level ending at the roof. The inner part of the castle is not accessible but the views inside and out are from around the passages of the castle. The views from the battlements are awesome and you can see fir miles.
Fantastic castle with good views of the area. Nice location opposite the cathedral and park. Interesting area with good little walks and places to explore. You can also enter the castle for a small fee. My favourite part of the town.
