Great Pictures of Dover Castle
By Med | May 5, 2006
Dover Castle is situated in Kent and has been described as the “Key to England” due to its defensive significance throughout history.
Located on the white cliffs overlooking the port town of Dover this large castle was in use all the way up to the second world war yet has history stretching back to Henry II in the 12th century. Parking is available right within the castle grounds which is suggested as it is quite a walk up the hill to the castle. There are many different exhibits available for the single entrance fee including a visit to the World War 2 bunkers which is HIGHLY recommended. A great place to wander around the ruins and admire the beautiful views.
The castle with its maze of tunnels dug into the cliff, has seen almost continuous action for thousands of years.
The castle, secret tunnels and surrounding land are now owned by English Heritage and the site is a major tourist attraction. The Lord Warden of the Clinque Ports is officially head of the castle, in his conjoint position of Constable of Dover Castle.
