Rochester Castle stands on the east bank of the River Medway. Its 12th-century keep is one of the best-preserved in England.
It is reputedly haunted by Lady Blanche de Warenne, who is seen with an arrow through her heart on the anniversary of her death.
In the castle moat, there is an old burial ground that is frequented by the apparition of a man with a white beard, believed by some to be none other than the reknowned author, Charles Dickens.
