The town embraces its literary heritage with the Dickens Festival, one of several themed events held throughout the year along its characterful cobbled high street. The High Street itself is very popular, offering a mix of independent shops, Rustic cafés, highly regarded restaurants, and traditional pubs - all contributing to the town’s unique atmosphere. Towering above the riverside landscape are the stunning Rochester Cathedral and Castle, positioned at a picturesque bend of the River Medway. Rochester also benefits from modern riverside developments, enhancing its appeal for both lifestyle and commuting.
