We visited Rochester in November 2012 on a day-long castle expedition to Kent. It's run by English Heritage and sits overlooking the harbour. We parked a bit further away from the castle and walked up the hill. It's in a pretty central location, so you could visit the town as well and have a full day there.
From the outside, you can only see the Norman tower, but once you get inside it's pretty mammoth. The tower was built in 1127 by William of Corbeil and it's 1313 feet high.
You could walk round the inside of the castle through passageways, and you could climb up all 4 flights. When we got to the top level it was open air and looked out over the grounds and the harbours/river which was lovely.
Cost: £6 for adults
