Full description

Step into the vibrant world of Henry II’s medieval royal palace and follow lifelike hologram figures round the private chambers, guest rooms, and great hall, along with the kitchen and armories.

After immersing yourself in life at the 12th-century court, climb to the roof of the Great Tower for amazing panoramic views over the huge medieval castle, which was one of the strongest in England.

Enjoy the unique experience of the secret wartime tunnels, telling the story of the 1940 Miracle of Dunkirk using film, audio, and archive photography. Witness the evacuation of over 300,000 British and allied troops as the rescue operation is played out before your eyes.

A major new attraction, Dover Castle Under Siege, is now open . The attraction will tell the story of the castle’s most challenging times through immersive interactive displays and reopened medieval tunnels

there are two parts to this castle, the midevil part which is nice, and since it was a term break, kids had their own acrivities, and other part is its relevance suring the WW2 which as a history lover was absolutly special for me ♥️, both the WW2 tunnel tour and hospital tour was so informative, and gives you a prespective of life during those troubled times, 5Star anytime
