Old Brook Pumping Station is a preserved 1929 pumping station in Chatham, open as a museum since the early 1980s and run by volunteers from the Medway Industrial Archaeology Group. See the engines and a collection of exhibits on the industrial history of the Medway Towns. It suits engineering fans and curious families and takes about an hour.
Image: Fort AmherstFort Amherst
Fort Amherst is a large Napoleonic fort above Chatham, built to protect the dockyard and used again in both world wars. The grounds, with ramparts, cannons and views over the Medway, are free to wander with the dog, while guided tours take you into the maze of underground tunnels. It is known locally for its long-running Halloween scare events.

The Royal Engineers Museum in Gillingham is the UK's largest military engineering museum, covering more than two centuries of sappers' work around the world. The collection includes 25 Victoria Crosses, Wellington's map of Waterloo, a Harrier jump jet, a V2 rocket and a line of bridge-laying tanks. Family activities and a first-floor café make it a solid rainy-day choice in Medway.
