On the
hills overlooking the town of Dover and the port is the castle
dating back to Henry II (1100).
Today,
the
castle is run by
English Heritage. Much of the building has been restored and
opened to the public. This can take up to 1/2 a day to
cover. There is a mini-train to take you round and see the main
sights, which can be useful for those with disabilities.
If
you wish, you can just wonder around, as there is plenty to see, along with
the spectacular views from the top of the castle.
Sitting alongside the castle is the Roman Pharos (or
lighthouse), of which over half still stands.
