Had a great time at Sweeps Festival 2013 and at the cathedral. The cathedral was like step back in time. Some nice British history other then the ones in London. But you should also check the sweeps festival which is great in 4,5 and 6 May in 2013. I am not into folk music but I loved the Ale, cider...

A very pretty Cathedral which shows how much money must have been sloshing around at the time of it's construction, as this is a big building with some delightful architectural decoration.

My wife and I, with my nephew and niece, visited the Cathedral on a recent trip to see family in the area. Now I truly love visiting Cathedrals, not because I am overly religious, but because I am a photographer and there can be some truly spectacular lines, lighting and colours in Cathedrals, and this did not disappoint.

We Have Been Here On More Than One Occassion. The Cathedral Is Steeped In History, And So Is The City Of Rochester. The Cathedral Is Also Home To 'Lights For Love' Event In Conjunction With The Wisdom Hospice, This Is A Very Moving Event And Most Enjoyable Too.

Right opposite the Castle, a visit to the Cathedral is a must. Friendly staff without being overpowering like some we have encountered. Free admission, with option of paying for an audio guide. Has a majestic feel and lots to see. The crypt was impressive with a special area for silent prayer - adds to the atmosphere of this wonderful building.
Defo worth a visit. The cathedral is simply beautiful. So much detail inside and out. The history surrounding it is breathtaking
