About
Lower Upnor and Upper Upnor are two small villages in Medway, Kent, England. They are in the civil parish of Frindsbury Extra on the western bank of the River Medway. Today both Lower Upnor and Upper Upnor are mainly residential and a centre for small boats moored on the River Medway, but Upnor Castle is a preserved monument of English Heritage, that was built from October 1559 until April 1567 as part of the coastal and riverine defences of the Royal Navy.
