About

Dating back to the days of the Norman Conquest, Dover Castle has served as an essential part of England’s defences for nearly 1,000 years. From medieval kings to wartime admirals, the castle is ripe with British history.

Make sure you climb the Great Tower, built by Henry II, where lavish tapestries and furniture have been painstakingly recreated to give you an idea of court life in the Middle Ages.
