What makes Discover Charles Dickens Rochester a unique experience ?

This is the start of the locations Charles Dickens used in his novels, novellas and over 300 short stories.

If the Poor Travellers House is open, you will have the opportunity to almost go through a time warp to a different era, when travel around the country was only possible with the consent of the landowner for whom you worked.

This house is a lesson in architectural history! In addition to the Dickens connections, we’ll show you how to ‘read’ a building and find out what’s REALLY going on – not what is repeated in many history books!
