Dover CastleFrom its inception after 1066, Dover Castle witnessed royal intrigue and endured epic sieges, embodying the resilience of the realm. During World War II, it once again became a bastion of defense, serving as a vital command center for naval operations. The tunnels beneath the castle cliffs became the nerve center for orchestrating the miraculous Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. Today, visitors can explore the castle's imposing ramparts, delve into its labyrinthine tunnels, and immerse themselves in its rich history through interactive exhibits. Dover Castle stands as a testament to England's indomitable spirit and its enduring legacy as a guardian of the realm.
