A Day Trip To Rochester, Kent | ad

- Rochester in Kent makes a great wintery day trip, just 45 minutes from central London with Southeastern Railway.
With a beautiful high street lined with historic buildings, Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle - one of the best-preserved and finest example of Norman architecture in England, there’s plenty of things to see and do.
It’s also filled with independent stores and hidden gems. There’s Pips of Rochester, a lovely local greengrocers selling local produce, Kiss Kiss Heart and Paloma Studio which sell gorgeous gifts and Dickens House Wine Emporium - a wine store in a building that was once the apothecary where Charles Dickens collected his medicines.
The food scene in Rochester is also pretty special. Topes is the place for the best food in the town, serving gourmet dishes including pigeon, mackerel and sea bream. Fleur De Thé is a cute tea room / gift shop. It’s super photogenic and wow do they make a good cuppa!
Another great hidden gem was Playopolis Board Games Café just around the end of the high street. Opened last year, this family run board game café has over 700 board games, plus they serve fun cocktails too including Butterbeer!

Thanks for watching guys! I've popped all my tips and recommendations in this post: www.wanderlustchloe.com/rochester-kent-things-to-do/ Have fun!
Thanks, I'm from Rochester but live in Japan and used this video to introduce our town.
Rochester is gorgeous. Lovely day out ❤
It really is! I love it there!
Rochester is a gem! Proud to call it our base. If you ever go back and fancy a pint, be sure to visit the Eagle Tavern 💙
Or the strip club
@@mandymachine262 that exists there? Ugh 😣
The tea shop looked so cute!! What a cosy trip.
It was super cosy! Perfect for autumn/winter!
Honestly being from Medway this video is disgusting coz all it shows is the rich part of rochester when across Maidstone road there's a poor chav filled labour voting part of rochester it's also full of millwall fans
In Latin this town is called Durobrivae
Hi there, I live in Rainham which is about a 10-15 minute car ride or 3 train stops away. I love Rochester especially the night life which is very good when all the pubs are allowed to be open! Next time your down maybe we can hook up and I can show you more of the sights. Take care x
Thank you for watching!
Ive lived in Rochester my whole life and I have never been into the castle.
Woweee! Take a trip soon!
How have you never been in the castle?! Did you miss the school trips? Surely every primary school in medway sent kids there!
Ive lived here for a very long time and you make it look so delightful great video :-)
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching!
I know I’m six years late, but if you ever plan on going back, go to the deaf cat cafe! The coffe their is amazing!
Thank you! I will definitely pop back at some point.
Great video, thanks! Really helpful and informative...I’m going to visit soon 😀
Have a great time there!
Very good!
I wish I was from a European historical place gem 💎 like Rochester. Oh ! I am
🪞 I was registered to city way , learnt to walk on the high street, played in the 🏰 castle. There’s some 1066 connection
I lived very near to the Rocester castle
What a cutie!
Great video

Thank you! It was a lovely trip! Really enjoyed it.
Hi! Well done. I love all your content. What programme do you use for editing the videos? Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much! I usually use Final Cut Pro. I really like it!
Try Chatham, its even better.
Thanks for the tip! Sure I will at some point!
JSS it's better at mugging old ladies at 10 In the morning in a big metropolitan street
@@Wanderlustchloe don't listen to him, chatham is the arse of medway
Shit hole
I hope you're joking, the classiest shop in Chatham is Primark!
the sun rises in chatham and sets in strood...your looking towards the castle and you said the sun is set... but thats wrong its behind you at strood.
I live near there like 10 mins away 😂
Ohh awesome! It's a lovely spot!
Thanks for going where I live... I guess
It was a great trip!
My husband grew up there he’s now livin in the US with me
It's even got an airport if you want to learn to fly
No way - I didn't know that!
Or take a pleasure flight in the local area, Leeds Castle ect
If you come to Rochester again, let us take you round properly! www.tourguiderochesteruk.co :-) Seriously, enjoyed your video - Topes isn't Topes anymore (things change oh so quickly) - it's called Smoke and Liquor now, taking it's theme from the opening scene in The Mystery of Edwin Drood (which is where the Topes name also came from). And it's less than 45 mins from St Pancras - 32 mins (just checked!) lol!
Music dominates and not in a nice way. The review was quite good nonetheless.
So sorry about the music but I'm glad you liked the video.
