Upnor Castle
Turreted castle set in a picturesque village on the River Medway. Originally built in 1559 on the orders of Queen Elizabeth I as a gun fort to defend her warships 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!
