Dover Castle – an impenetrable fortress, much of which is hidden deep within the chalk of the White Cliffs. No fortress in England boasts a longer history than Dover Castle, and here you can enjoy 900 years of history in one place. Commanding the shortest sea crossing between England and the continent, the site has served as a vital strategic centre since the Iron Age.
Begin your journey with a drive to Dover Castle, passing dramatic coastal views and heading toward the historic White Cliffs. On arrival, enjoy the walk to the entrance of Dover Castle, where centuries of English history await.
Your visit begins with early access to the Operation Dynamo Tunnels. A remarkable network of underground passages was used during the Dunkirk evacuation. With a specialist guide leading the way, explore the gripping wartime story brought to life through immersive rooms and atmospheric soundscapes.
Afterwards, enjoy free time for independent exploration. Wander through the imposing medieval keep, roam the battlements with sweeping sea views, or discover hidden corners of one of England’s most iconic fortresses at your own pace.
Your visit continues with an unforgettable highlight: exclusive use of the Constable’s Tower. Within this majestic medieval tower, relax and indulge in a 3-course Afternoon Tea served with English Sparkling Wine. Step outside to stroll through the tranquil gardens leading from the tower, offering peaceful moments amid centuries-old stonework and greenery.
Departing from Dover Castle, journey to your London hotel, carrying with you a deeper appreciation of the Castle’s history and its enduring role in shaping the nation.
