Chatham

Chatham Historic Dockyard, a museum built around the naval buildings that once supported one of Britain's most significant Royal Navy bases, anchors this Kent town on the River Medway. The dockyard's attractions include the submarine HMS Ocelot, and the wider town centre offers a walkable concentration of listed historic buildings, churches, and cafés. The Corps of Royal Engineers remains based at Brompton Barracks, giving Chatham a continuing military presence alongside its heritage industry.
