Rochester Castle is strategically placed on
the London Road, the route from Canterbury and Dover to the capital,
and it overlooks the right bank of the River Medway, commanding a
wide view of the surrounding country. Almost as soon as they had
landed, the invading Romans established a military presence at
Rochester in AD 43, but it was the Normans who were responsible for
the castle, building it within the Roman city walls. Today it is in
ruins, but much of the structure has been preserved, along with the
outer walls, and it still forms a major structure in Rochester.
