The Historic Dockyard Chatham

The Historic Dockyard Chatham is a unique, award winning maritime heritage attraction, set in an 80 acre estate with stunning Georgian and Victorian architecture. All of the exciting maritime galleries and attractions are brought to life by costumed guides. Make rope on the Victorian Ropery Tour; be gripped by stories of life aboard our Three Historic Warships, be absorbed by the sights, sounds and smells of the dockyard of 1758 recreated in the Wooden Walls of England gallery and be inspired by the Royal Dockyard Museum and the RNLI Historic Lifeboat Collection. Visit the beautiful Commissioner's garden for a little peace a quiet and let the children let off steam in the Railway Workshop Picnic and Play indoor and outdoor adventure play areas. A new museum and cultural venue opened in July 2010 in the wonderfully restored No. 1 Smithery with world-class maritime models, art, objects and their stories from two national museums plus an exciting temporary exhibition programme.Special events take place throughout the year - visit www.thedockyard.co.uk for information on all the galleries, attractions and events.
