Wellp Dover Castle was/is my like fav castle in the UK so far. It's a huge castle and being situated where it is (about 20 miles from France- Calaise) it is a huge historical castle. All the Normandy invasion plans were made from secret underground tunnels buried a 100' or more beneath the castle. This is also where you catch the ferries or Chunnel to cross over to the mainland. With the Cliffs (made of white chalk) here as well you can easily spend a day looking at everything. This day was great as it didn't rain on us as forecasted!!!
Looking out over the harbour.
nice anti-aircraft (AA) piece
also a huge military thing was the evacuation of all the Allied forces from France before the Germans could overrun them early in WWII.
These signs were all in this observation tower built out along the front wall near the AA gun.
more signs
aircraft markings
German ship markings
here are some ferry boats in the harbour
looking out along the cliffs
here is a good view of em
this is the entrance (duh) to the underground tunnels. they wouldn't allow pics down there... :(
instead of "spot at sight" should be "shoot on sight"!!!!

viewed from one of the other corner towers- got that shirt this year from Wimbledon!!!
outer castle defense rings
from the top of the tower you can just see the lighthouse (white speck) that I will have a pic of later- bout a mile and half or so between the 2
12th century...
looks pretty cool
archery slit
Dover Castle from where we started walking the cliffs from
it totally commands the area!!
don't wanna fall.... and no guard rails!!
standing right on the edge
those rocks look close but are like 250'+ below
Sid giving some height comparison
some fortifications built into the cliff walls
rocks big as houses!!
starting my way up 
a good bit more now!!
again living on the edge!! 400'+ here
a supply line down to defenders in the cliffs is what we figured...
Peregine Falcon breeding area- they are the fastest birds in the world!! 300mph+ in a dive!!
Here finally is that lighthouse you could just barely see from the Castle. would be cool to catch a sunrise and sunset here to take pics!!! would be a "cover" shot for sure!!!
more "looking down" at the rocks!!!!!
me again
this is some old Roman fort remains we found driving back home... don't remember what century but pretty old!!!
