Explore Medway by open top bus

Jump aboard the open top tour bus and unearth the secrets of Medway for yourself.

Can you spot Grunt?

Grunt, who lives at Rochester Castle, is hiding around Medway. He’s dressed up, exploring and generally just hanging out!

Keep your eyes peeled during the tour for Grunt as:

• Miss Havisham
• The Chatham Witch
• Will Adams
• Grunt himself alongside a Royal Engineer Soldier
• Chef
• Stinky-Whiff

Grunt features in his very own book – the Children’s Guide to Rochester Castle. He’ll guide you round the castle and show you all the fun things to look out for. Come and visit the castle and make sure you ask for Grunt!
