Dover Castle
Next we went to Dover Castle. We spent most of the day here because there was so much to see. It was a chilly, windy day, but we avoided the rain! Dover Castle can be traced back to 1066 when William the Conqueror built a castle, although there was probably an iron age fort here before then. In the 12th & 13th centuries, successive kings rebuilt & extended the castle into what is it today. It has a massive underground tunnel system, which we saw, but could not take photographs. It is from Dover Castle that Ramsay organized & directed the famous evaculation from Dunkirk, France during WWII and over 338,000 lives were saved.
