Another Monday trip to see another historic site, "Dover Castle" and the "White Cliffs of Dover". The castle is the largest castle in England and is built extremely strong with massive thick walls. It has played a key role in many of the wars in England. Even though it does not have a moat, it is situated on the top of a hill with cliffs rising up from the sea on one side and a very steep incline from the sea on the other seaward side. Large guns from the second world war can still be found. There are tunnels built into the hill below the castle that run for over 4 miles. It was interesting to go in some of them and see how they were set up for administering the war effort during the second world war. The castle itself was fun to tour.
We left the castle and drove to the the top side of the white cliffs. From the top of the cliffs you could see the white cliffs of Calais France. We enjoyed the walk along the tops of the cliffs.
Below are a few of our pictures.
