About Dover
- Dover Castle, perched on the chalk cliffs above the port, is one of the most important strategic fortifications in British history — a site that has been defended continuously for over 2,000 years, from the Iron Age hillfort through the Roman lighthouse, the Norman keep, and the Napoleonic tunnels to the Second World War command centre from which the Dunkirk evacuation was coordinated. The castle's Secret Wartime Tunnels, carved into the chalk cliffs in the Napoleonic period and extended in the 1940s, served as the headquarters of Vice-Admiral Bertram Ramsay during Operation Dynamo — the evacuation of 338,000 Allied troops from the beaches of Dunkirk in May and June 1940. The tunnels, which are now open to the public, give a vivid sense of the cramped, tense atmosphere in which one of the most dramatic rescues in military history was planned.
- The White Cliffs of Dover, which rise to over 100 metres above the sea at their highest point, are one of the most powerful symbols of Britain — a natural landmark that has served as the first sight of home for returning travellers and the last sight of England for those departing for centuries. The cliffs are composed of chalk laid down during the Cretaceous period, when the area was covered by a warm, shallow sea, and they are rich in fossils of sea creatures including ammonites, belemnites, and sea urchins. The National Trust manages a stretch of the cliffs and the downland behind them, and the clifftop walk between Dover and Deal is one of the finest coastal walks in the south-east, with views across the Channel to France on clear days.
- The Dover Roman Painted House, discovered during construction work in 1970, contains the largest area of in-situ Roman painted wall plaster north of the Alps — a series of rooms decorated with elaborate architectural paintings in the style of the third Pompeian style, depicting columns, panels, and architectural perspectives in red, green, and yellow. The house, which dates from around 200 AD, was part of a mansio — an official guesthouse for government travellers — and the quality of the paintings reflects the importance of Dover as a port and administrative centre in Roman Britain. The paintings were preserved by the collapse of the building's walls, which buried them under rubble for 1,800 years, and they are now displayed in a purpose-built museum on the site of the discovery.
