Dover Castle

For over 2,000 years, fortifications on the Dover cliffs have protected this stretch of English coast closest to the continent of Europe. The castle has seen active service from 1066 to the Cold War, and its defences have grown to meet the changing demands of weapons and warfare. This newly updated and expanded guide contains plans, maps, eyewitness accounts and historic photographs of this famous and iconic fortress that dominates the White Cliffs and the Straits of Dover.
