Upnor: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Upnor is a historic village situated on the River Medway in Kent, England. The village is primarily known for Upnor Castle, a significant Elizabethan artillery fort built in the 16th century to protect the Royal Navy's Chatham Dockyard and warships anchored in the Medway. The well-preserved castle stands as a testament to England's maritime history.

The village maintains its historic character with cobbled streets and traditional buildings, reflecting its past as a strategic riverside settlement. Originally developed as a port village supporting the castle's operations, Upnor has evolved while preserving its maritime heritage. The area around the castle and village provides insights into England's naval history and architectural development from the Tudor period onwards.
