I went to Upnor castle near Rochester in Kent today. The only Castle that Elizabeth I ordered to be built in her entire Reign. It's mostly still original and is evocative of the Tudor period. It was used in the defence of the Realm right up to the second world war. It is where according to local sources that the immortal words " Britannia Rules The waves" were first spoken when Elizabeth visited the castle.
See the program of tours for next year that will include Elizabeth- The Child, the Lover and Warrior Queen
