Dover Castle has been protecting this corner of England for over nine centuries.
It’s also been voted one of English Heritage’s Top Ten Family Attractions.
While you are there you can visit:
– The Great Tower, where you step back to medieval times
– The Underground Hospital from WW2
– Operation Dynamo, the Dunkirk rescue of 1940
– A WW1 Fire Command Post
– A lighthouse from the Roman times
– A church from the Anglo-Saxon times
– Medieval Tunnels that run under the castle
Dogs on leads are welcome in the grounds only. Assistance dogs welcome across the site.
There is a family entrance ticket that covers two adults and three children.
A year’s family membership typically costs less than two family entrance tickets, so if you are planning on two day’s out to an English Heritage attraction within the year, it’s worth considering.
