Set in a spectacular location high above the famous white cliffs, Dover Castle boasts an immensely eventful and fascinating history.
Step inside the Great Tower at Dover Castle and immerse yourself in the medieval world of King Henry ll, authentically re-created showing how it may have appeared when newly built during the 1180s. Journey through richly furnished chambers filled with hundreds of finely crafted objects and learn about life in the Great Tower as you encounter the colourful characters from the royal court.
Re-live the turbulent war years as you tour the Secret Wartime Tunnels situated deep beneath the cliffs and imagine what it was like to be stationed here during the worst days of WWll.
Also take time to explore the atmospheric Medieval Tunnels, see one of Europe's best-preserved Roman lighthouses and walk the extensive battlements.
Relax in a choice of cafes and restaurants and browse for unusual gifts in our two themed shops.
