cottages near Dover Castle
If you're looking for history, and we mean lots of history,
there's nowhere better to find it on your next cottage holiday
than at Dover Castle in Kent. Built in the 12th Century,
this epic structure has been safeguarding our shores for over 900
years, with military personnel garrisoned here up until 1958.
Discover the beauty of the castle's Great Tower,
sympathetically restored to depict how it looked in the
12th century. Delve into the secret wartime tunnels and
unearth the subterranean rooms where covert military operations
were planned during both world wars, including the celebrated
evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940. Walk the battlements and gaze out
over the white cliffs, keeping your eye on the horizon for a fleck
of white sail or the wing of a returning spitfire, before returning
to your quaint Kent cottage to reflect on the wonders of this
historic marvel.
