Dover Castle and the Secret Wartime Tunnels![]() If you are looking for a family day out, Dover Castle should keep everyone happy! Discover a labyrinth of secret wartime tunnels built deep in the White Cliffs of Dover, while sights, sounds and pathe news clips bring the drama of WWII alive. Walk through the rooms where Sir Admiral Ramsay planned the “miracle of Dunkirk” and tour the underground hospital as you follow the story of a wounded wartime pilot. Learn about techniques used to detect enemy ships, and try your hand at morse code at the Admiralty Lookout. Above ground, check out one of Europe’s best-preserved Roman lighthouses, visit the Siege Experience of 1216 to find out what it may have been like to be a medieval soldier, and explore the towering keep with its spectacular views across the channel and its recreation of King Henry VIII’s private rooms. With so much to see and do for the whole family and great events throughout the summer it is not surprising that it is one of Kent’s most popular visitor attractions.
