During the summer, I finally got to visit Dover Castle. It's been on my castle wish list for years. There's so much history that has taken place there over hundreds of years. It's well worth a visit, whatever period of history you are interested in.
This is a picture of the Anglo Saxon church of St Mary, which was restored in Victorian times. Next to it is the oldest surviving lighthouse in Britain, the Roman Pharos. It was built to guide the Romans across the channel from France.
The castle is decorated as it would have been in Eleanor's days.
There are apartments for the King and Queen, as well as private chapels for worship.
