Magnificent gardens
Nestled in the beautiful Crow Lane, which runs perpendicular to the High Street of Rochester, the Restoration House seems at first to be quite an ordinary building. But in fact, this is an old mansion (which inspired Dickens' Satis House in Great Expectations), which has been extremely well renovated and is now open to the public. The house tour is interesting enough, but the adjoining gardens are simply magnificent and deserve their own thorough visit.
