Dover Castle was one of the best place son this trip. A number of friends had been over the years and raved about it, whilst I was saying "ho-hum', We thought we had best go for a looko this time and wow! what a blast! I was totally blown away when we went into the 'secret' war tunnels, where much of the planning during the second world war happened. There was a fabulous communications system, and variuos rooms for the different forces and their commaneders. Also a hospital, deep under the ground int he white cliffs of Dover. The look out points, holes drilled into the sides of the cliff, gave a fantastic view across the channel, and anybody would have been spotted. How very clever those Brits were, in their wonderful hidey hole. There is also a superb Saxon chapel on site here, with a beautiful interior. Stained glass etc. The views from the castle walls across the channel were just fantastic. There were even a couple of ferries docked whilst we watched.As you can see, it was a very fine day, but we spent a lot of time outside looking for a sheltered spot to protect us from a very cold wind. But, I love Britain, regardless of the weather.
