On your visit to Dover Castle, the medieval exhibition will bring you back to the time of King Henry II and learn about how this remarkable monument came to be in the 12th century.
Inside the castle, you'll see the recreation of various rooms, such as private chambers, guest rooms, the great halls, the armory, the kitchen, and much more! The castle also offers incredible views of the Strait of Dover as well as Dover itself.
