On the write tracks in literary Kent
Fire your imagination
Come and be inspired - like so many great writers - by Kent's idyllic rural landscapes,
captivating cities, castles and gardens.
Day One
Start you literary tour with Charles Dickens. The author featured
Rochester in his writings morethan any other town apart from London. You can still clearly recognise the old-world Rochester
the author knew so well: from the castle where Mr Pickwick leant 'contemplating nature and
waiting for breakfast' to The Guildhall where Pip was indentured as an apprentice - an
exhibition in the museum here is dedicated to Dickens. At nearby Higham on certain days you
can tour Gad's Hill Place, Dickens' home from 1857 until his death in 1870.
In the afternoon enter Dickens World at Chatham Maritime, themed around the life, work and
times of the author. Featuring Europe's largest 'dark' boat ride through the streets of
Dickensian London, ghostly encounters with Ebenezer Scrooge, animatronic and live theatre,
it's a must-do attraction for all the family.
