Rochester Castle History & Tour / The Great Siege & Forty Fat Pigs
For over 800 years Rochester Castle has stood overlooking the River Medway in the historic town of Rochester. The castle is widely regarded as one of the most exceptional examples of Norman architecture in England. Its keep, in particular, stands as the tallest surviving tower of its kind in Europe. The castle played a critical role during the Barons Wars, the siege of Rochester Castle by King John in 1215 is one of the most renowned and well-documented episodes in English history.

We tried to visit Rochester Castle last year on out holidays but had to give up. Apparantly there was a graduation ceremony in the catherdal next door and the whole of the city was overrun with students and family and the limited parking was completely full. Tried for an hout to find a space in the car parks and on the road but had to concede defeat. Instead, we found a little place called Upnor Castle across the river, plently of free parking and a really nice pub next door which did an amazing curry.

Fantastic video, always since a child been a very local Castle for me. Would love to see a roof reinstated to look after the interior for future generations, been muted many times and can only hope.

Thank you. We loved Rochester Castle, I certainly hope they can preserve this ancient site for future generations, there is so much history here it would be tragic if it was lost.

Hi, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. Next video in the future. Could you do Winchester Cathedral and the town of Winchester England. Have a great day see you next video 😊

Hi there, happy to hear that you and Benjamin are doing well. Hopefully one day we will be down that part of the country and can visit the historic town of Winchester. Have a great day!

American and I loved the movie “ Ironclad” I never understood why it was always a conflict over human rights. To this very day the citizens can be arrested for speech that the government does not approve of in public.
