We went to Dover the last weekend of September. Which was also my nephew’s first birthday: Happy Birthday, Kaiden! I was so sad to miss his first birthday. 😦
We were up early to board the bus to Dover. The bus left at 8am for a 2 1/2 hour drive. We went with another couple (the same one that picked up up from the airport), which was nice. We had a long day of exploring the castle and grounds. I don’t think I expected the grounds to be so extensive! We probably had 6 hours to look around, and we didn’t even get to see everything.
I really enjoyed the Anglo-Saxon church on the grounds. It was built before the castle was even here.
The church has been heavily restored over time.
The part of the castle open to the public have been set up to reflect the appearance it would have had under King Henry II’s rule in the High Middle Ages.
We also got to tour the tunnels of the castle and see the various weaponry used over the years.
A few more of us:
