Dover Castle has kept Britain safe from invasion for almost a thousand years. From the French & Spanish Kings, to Napoleon, to the Axis powers under Hitler, & even into the Cold War, the mighty fortress of Dover Castle has stood strong in the defence of the United Kingdom. Nowhere else in the UK can you see Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Medieval, Georgian, & 20th-century buildings which chart Britain's military relationship with Europe. From exploring the Norman Castle, to taking a tour of the Second World War tunnels where the evacuation of Dunkirk was planned by Vice-Admiral Bertram Ramsey, you are quite literally following in the footsteps of fate. Starting at your central London accommodation, our knowledgeable driver/guides will drive you to Dover. Once at Dover Castle, your guide will bring the castle to life. Standing on the famous White Cliffs, you will hear the stories of the soldiers who defended this shore for centuries, & you might even catch a glimpse of France!
For over two thousand years, Dover Castle has stood as the guardian of England, a mighty fortress watching over the shortest sea crossing to Continental Europe. Beneath the medieval castle lies a secret—a network of tunnels first dug during the Napoleonic Wars. It was here, deep inside the famous White Cliffs, that Vice-Admiral Ramsay orchestrated the miraculous evacuation of Dunkirk during the Second World War. Stepping into these underground hospitals and operations rooms offers a hauntingly immersive experience, placing you at the very heart of Operation Dynamo. Above ground, explore the sprawling medieval fortress begun by Henry II, complete with a towering keep and a fully recreated royal palace. Stand on the battlements where generations have scanned the horizon for invaders, from the Spanish Armada to the Luftwaffe. Dover Castle is not just a monument; it is the key to England, and walking its grounds is to walk through two millennia of history.
