Dover Castle

Dover Castle was a fun one to tour around. As an English Heritage member, entry was free. The grounds are large and you can spend quite some time touring around. I loved how ornate the decor is and how the castle provided live details for us to visualize what it would be like if we were there in person. Definitely recommend.

A stunning site to visit. Our main interest was the castle so didn't really explore all areas.
Castle was lovely and some very informative guides inside the castle who were more than happy to share their knowledge.
Plenty of on-site parking, cafe and restaurant on site as well as plenty of toilets.

If I could give Dover Castle six stars I would. English Heritage do a fantastic job maintaining and interpreting this site.
We spent a whole day there and left wanting to see more.
There is a lot more than just the Great Tower. The walk around the Keep is great. The Medieval Tunnel defences, Princess of Wales Regiment Museum, the exhibition of King Henry II, a great Cafe and Restaurant on site, WWII Tunnels, WWI Gun Control, Underground Hospital , and Saxon Church all set in beautifully cared for grounds. The guides are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
Highly recommended. We are so fortunate to have seen this place.

This is simple one of the best Castle I've visited, vastly huge and impressive a full day is required. The war tunnels are a must the Dunkirk exhibition is truly emotional. The views from the top of the tower are spectacular. Car parking on site, has a couple of cafes / shops. The role this castle has played in our history is amazing

I really enjoyed my visit to Dover castle the history was really interesting to learn about and everything was beautiful and well maintained. The staff were amazing they were helpful and informative. I would definitely recommend a visit if you haven’t been before. My only problem was that there was a few cars speeding around the grounds where pedestrians were walking close by

As a member of English Heritage, entrance here was free. There is ample car parking space as well. Staff here were all really lovely and kind, also very knowledgeable. My four kids, aged between 6 and 12, had a really good time, so much to see including a wonderful tour of the underground tunnel system. Lots of amazing history, great views and the main tower was very well kept. If you are a member of English Heritage, I would definitely recommend this place. My youngest was also studying about castle life at school and it really helped him understand castle life and he enjoyed telling his class about his trip. Big thumbs up to all the staff for being so helpful and kind.

Dive into history and the gorgeous sites here in Dover. There is ample parking and walkways that are nice if you are pushing a pram. My "big kid" really enjoyed the tunnel tour while my 9 & 16yr old enjoyed exploring the medieval castle and grounds. We spent easily 2.5hrs but could have spent longer here. If you are an English Heritage member, there is also a cottage on the castle grounds that you can rent. Prices are on the website.

A massive place, so allow I’d say half a day of not all of it to visit. Tunnels are fab and views from the top of the tower are great. Cafe serves half decent food but overpriced as always at these places. Picnic is probably a better option if there a few of you.
Negative points for me is the bad signage and the lack of information boards to tell you what things are. Also the amount of distance you have to walk just to get to a toilet! Also the rudeness of some of the staff here is a disgrace! The woman in the shop next to the war tunnels has a bad attitude and would not show my daughter where the magnets were when asked! I wasn’t allowed in the shop due to not having my mask and she couldn’t even be polite about that! Also, if you’re going to enforce mask wearing then at least tell your staff to put their masks right over their face instead of just under their noses. One rule for all not just for us!! I’m not an anti masker, I forgot it.
Other then the negatives, I would visit again and allow myself more time to explore.
