A Day Trip To Rochester, Kent | ad

Rochester in Kent makes a great wintery day trip, just 45 minutes from central London with Southeastern Railway.

With a beautiful high street lined with historic buildings, Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle – one of the best-preserved and finest example of Norman architecture in England, there’s plenty of things to see and do.

It’s also filled with independent stores and hidden gems. There’s Pips of Rochester, a lovely local greengrocers selling local produce, Kiss Kiss Heart and Paloma Studio which sell gorgeous gifts and Dickens House Wine Emporium – a wine store in a building that was once the apothecary where Charles Dickens collected his medicines.

The food scene in Rochester is also pretty special. Topes is the place for the best food in the town, serving gourmet dishes including pigeon, mackerel and sea bream. Fleur De Thé is a cute tea room / gift shop. It’s super photogenic and wow do they make a good cuppa!

Another great hidden gem was Playopolis Board Games Café just around the end of the high street. Opened last year, this family run board game café has over 700 board games, plus they serve fun cocktails too including Butterbeer!

Find out more about my day trip to Rochester in my blog packed with the top things to do, places to eat and great photo opportunities:

Places to see in ( Haverhill - UK )

Places to see in ( Haverhill - UK )

Haverhill is a market town and civil parish in the county of Suffolk, England, next to the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire. It lies about 14 miles southeast of Cambridge and 47 miles north-east of central London. It lies about 14 miles (23 km) southeast of Cambridge and 47 miles (76 km) north-east of central London. Haverhill is the second largest town in the Borough of St Edmundsbury.

The town centre lies at the base of a gentle dip in the chalk hills of the Newmarket Ridge; running through the town is Stour Brook, which goes on to join the River Stour just outside the town. Rapid expansion of the town over the last two decades means that the western edge of Haverhill now includes the hamlet of Hanchet End. The surrounding countryside largely consists of arable land.

Haverhill dates back to at least Saxon times, and the town's market is recorded in the Domesday Book (1086). Whilst most of its historical buildings were lost to the great fire on 14 June 1667, one notable Tudor-era house remains (reportedly given to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce from Henry VIII and thus titled Anne of Cleves House) as well as many interesting Victorian buildings.

Haverhill's economy is dominated by industry, and a large industrial area on the southern side of the town is home to a large number of manufacturing companies. Scientific firms including Sanofi and Sigma-Aldrich have plants in the town, as do International Flavors & Fragrances, and some waste processing, transport and construction firms. A business park has also been built on the industrial estate, alongside the bypass.

The A1307 road is the only major road that connects Haverhill to Cambridge and the A11 and the M11 motorway. This route experiences congestion with commuter traffic most mornings and evenings. he town has no railway station and is one of the largest towns in England without one. It once had two railway stations and two interconnected railways. The Stour Valley Railway ran from Cambridge to Sudbury and beyond via Haverhill North whilst the Colne Valley and Halstead Railway ran from Haverhill South to Marks Tey via Castle Hedingham and Halstead.
