Dover Castle |
|
Dover Castle sits on top of the White Cliffs of Dover,
with a panoramic view of the English Chanel and Dover
ports.
Dover Castle dates back to Henry II (AD 1100).
Today, Dover
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
Dover Castle. Sitting alongside Dover Castle is the Roman Pharos (or
lighthouse), of which over half still stands. |
|
Western Heights |
|
On
the opposite side of the White Cliffs of Dover are the Western Heights.
Western Heights was
a military fortification in the 1700's.
|
 |
|
 |
There was a triple
spiral staircase leading down to the beach, some of the military
fortifications can still be found, while walking around the
meadows.
The wildlife around
here is beautiful, with butterflies, birds, and many wild flowers

White Cliffs Of
Dover |
|
The White
Cliffs of Dover are cliffs which form part of the British
coastline facing the Straits Of Dover and France
The cliff face,
which reaches up to 106 metres high, and is made from chalk white
black flint running through it.
|
 |
|
 |
Behind the cliff face are
miles of hidden tunnels that were created during the Middle Ages
and later played a role in the defence of Britain during the
Napoleonic Wars.
The tunnels were later
enlarged to become the Secret Wartime Tunnels beneath Dover castle. |
|
Battle of Britain Memorial |
|
This
Battle of Britain Memorial site is situated in a peaceful setting in Capel-le-Ferne, just outside Dover, overlooking the English Channel.
At the
Battle of Britain Memorial you can stroll among the memorials which
consist of a stone pilot, gazing into the skies above the English
Channel.
|
 |
|
 |
This stands in the
centre of 3 propellers measuring 38 metres long, which has been cut
into the chalk of the cliffs.
The Battle of
Britain Memorial over the year has ceremonial and remembrance days.
