Local Interest Upnor Castle is a short walk from the club, 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 Dockyard. 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. www.english-heritage.org.uk/server/show/nav.14935 Chatham Maritime With its many walks, restaurants and shopping outlet with many of the big names, it also has Dickens world and Cinema complex. www.chatham-maritime.co.uk/pages/index.html This web site is worth looking at just to see what is available.
