A Riverside historical stroll at Upnor

On 28th April we will be strolling along the River Medway near Upnor.

The walk will start at Upnor Castle car park at Upnor (Upnor Castle Car Park, Upnor Road, Rochester ME2 4UP). We will then make our way through the picturesque village and have a look at the castle. Then we will head along the Saxon Shore Way taking in Cockham Wood Fort and sights of Chatham Dockyard. We will make our way back to Upnor through fields and farms.
