Rochester boasts both historic and literary interest, while the old-fashioned seaside resorts of Whitstable and Broadstairs have a growing cachet among weekenders from the capital.

customize ⤍Two miles away in neighbouring Chatham, there’s more historic architecture at the Chatham Historic Dockyard, which records more than 400 years of British maritime history.
The dockyard, with its array of historically and architecturally fascinating eighteenth-century buildings, occupies a vast eighty-acre site. Attractions include the 400m-long former rope-making room, a restored Victorian sloop, and the Ocelot submarine, the last warship built at Chatham, whose crew endured unbelievably cramped conditions.
Follow the signs at the top of the vibrant High Street, with its delis, restaurants and gift stores, to reach the seafront, a quiet shingle beach backed by pretty weatherboard cottages and a line of colourful beach huts.
