Historic riverside castle and landscaped grounds.
Set in tranquil grounds adjoining a riverside village, this rare example of an Elizabethan artillery fort was begun in 1559 and redeveloped in 1599-1601, to protect warships moored at Chatham Dockyards. Despite a brave attempt, it entirely failed to do so in 1667, when the Dutch sailed past it to burn or capture the English fleet at anchor.
21 March-30 September, 10am-6pm;
1-31 October, 10am-4pm. Last admission 45 minutes before closing.
Adults £4.50, children and students £3.50, concessions £3.50, family ticket £12.50. English Heritage members enter free.
