 Dover Castle: 
About
nine miles South of Sandwich, this largest and arguably the most important English castle,
houses
much of interest. Don't miss the Roman Pharos or lighthouse; the iron
age fort; the saxon Church of St Mary in the Castle, the Norman Keep
with Tudor Life exhibition; the 1216 siege presentation; the Princess of
Wales Royal Regiment museum; the Secret Wartime tunnels which house the
wartime hospital, the telecommunications centre, and the
headquarters for Churchills co-ordination of the Dunkirk evacuation.
Parking, restaurant and shops on site. Allow a minimum of half or
preferably a whole day for
your visit and look out for special events. Some of the guided tours are
not available during the hour preceding closing time as there would be
insufficient time to complete them.
