Understanding Rochester's rich heritage enhances any visit to this historic Kent city and shows how a fixed-price taxi can help you explore it. Rochester is one of England's most historic cities, with roots stretching back to Roman times, and its compact centre is packed with remarkable heritage. Dominating the skyline is Rochester Castle, whose towering Norman keep — one of the tallest and best preserved in England — has stood for over 900 years, offering commanding views from its battlements. Close by rises Rochester Cathedral, the second-oldest cathedral in England, founded in 604 AD, a beautiful and atmospheric building of Norman and Gothic architecture that has welcomed pilgrims and visitors for centuries. But Rochester is perhaps most beloved for its deep associations with Charles Dickens, who spent much of his life in the area and used its streets, buildings and atmosphere as settings in many of his novels — the city celebrates this heritage with popular annual Dickens festivals, when the streets fill with costumed characters. The historic High Street is a delight of period buildings, independent shops, tea rooms and inns, some with Dickensian connections. As part of the wider Medway towns, Rochester also gives easy access to Chatham's Historic Dockyard, a major maritime heritage attraction, and the other Medway towns. This concentration of history makes Rochester a rewarding place to visit, and a fixed-price taxi is ideal for reaching it from the airports or stations, exploring the wider Medway area, and getting around with ease. Understanding Rochester's castle, cathedral and Dickens heritage shows why this historic city is so worth visiting, with reliable transport on hand.
