Rochester is one of the UK's historic gems with it's links to Charles Dickens and iconic historical landmarks but is it still worth visiting in 2022?
Join us in one of Kent's most visited cities as we explore the historic centre, with an early morning visit to the beautiful Rochester Cathedral where we have a fight with an ancient door before walking along the quaint and picturesque High Street in search of coffee.
Fuelled by our caffeine intake we explore Rochester Castle which overlooks the River Medway and the entire town with 360 degree panoramic views (don't look down if you're afraid of heights).
Before we bring our visit to an end we try Tony Lorenzos for a spot of lunch which we enjoy in The Vines, a town centre green space before the Great British weather takes a turn as we wander Rochester's riverside.
So come and join us on this epic summer adventure around historic Rochester!

I love Rochester. It's so quirky with some nice independent shops. The history in the buildings and the cathedral and castle is great.. Plenty of coffee shops and cafe's. It's a great place to just wander about in. Another great vlog, thanks lads.😉

Rochester also has a good folk festival every May bank holiday weekend, Rochester Sweeps. Three days of free live music and morris and other folk dancing all round the high street and the castle grounds.

Hi guys. The next time you visit Rochester Cathedral ask the guides where the tomb of St William of Perth is. The chances are that they won't know. I have research this subject and I know exactly where he lays. I have told many of the guides where he lays, but they are skeptical simply because they are not interested. Considering he is the only saint interred in Rochester cathedral there should be at least a plaque commemorating where his tomb was. Really enjoyed your blog. Hopefully you'll have better weather next time.

I was trying to decide where to go this year for a Christmas market. It was between Rochester and Winchester. You guys made up my mind - Rochester it is! Thanks , really enjoyed your tour and loved the banter between you 👌.

Next time start at the bottom of the steps on the other end of Church Fields and turn right at the top. The back streets are just as interesting.

Hi 👋 JJ yet another brilliant video from you guys. The shots high up looking towards the cathedral were stunning, haven't been to Rochester for many years, must visit again so lovely.

@JJExtra 2 года назад

Hi Gaynor. The views from the top of the castle are definitely the best thing about visiting it. Rochester is definitely worth getting back to if you haven’t been for a while 😊

@werdnarotcorp8991 24 дня назад

Interesting sign showing Rochester as a city, unfortunately it lost this status several years ago (1998) due to ineptness by the local council. Being a city has nothing to do with having a cathedral as many people think.

You boys seem to have so much fun. Love the videos. Have you done dymchurch, or Chatham dockyard as these are two places I'm keen to visit soon

@JJExtra 2 года назад

Hi Danny thanks for watching, great to hear you are enjoying the videos 😊 both of those places are on our to visit list so we will hopefully get to them soon!

“Parked our yacht?” 🤔😂 Must go back to Rochester, historic town not as touristy as nearby Canterbury. Thanks for the upload.

We clearly need to brush up on our terminology 😂 a day out in Rochester is certainly a LOT cheaper than Canterbury

Absolutely! Trains run from Rochester to London Bridge in just over an hour. 👍

@78Inox Год назад

Looked at commissioners road on Google maps and that does not look the same. You dead sure that is the street name?

@jaycb490 4 месяца назад

It's not Commisioners Road! Thats The Epslinade. (By Churchfields) It's about a ten minute walk to the castle from here. Spaces are limited though so you do need to early to have any chance of finding a space here!

Rochester is my surname. Im American but I think I may have a full-on proper English given name as well. Maybe some folks from the UK can tell me if my assumption there is accurate? Im called Archie. I know my family came over from England in the 19th Century, the fact it is my name and all the cool kids come from the UK are about all I knew. Well. That and all the cool kids come from the UK. Lol. I had no idea Dickens hailed from Rochester Kent. I must visit some day. I’ve always been proud of the Union Jack and knowing that I’m of English descent. Glad to know my name is a very old one. It first appears in writing in the year 794. We’ve been around since the dark ages! This is a great vlog!

@JJExtra Год назад

Hi Archie, thank you for watching and your amazing comment. It's great to hear how our video has helped connect you a little more with your heritage. Archie certainly is a name used here, short for Archibald originally. We hope you get to visit Rochester some day!
