Dover Castle, which is over a thousand years old, has been recently completely refurnished to portray the castle in its Medieval heyday -- this is the only castle we know of in England where you can really get the flavor of life in the Middle Ages (it might surprise you that it was full of bright colors!).
Right next to Dover Castle are the Secret Wartime Tunnels that Churchill had dug into the cliffs of Dover during WWII. Since Dover was really close to France, it was prime land for watching the enemy's actions across the channel. Military personnel worked and lived inside the tunnels for months on end, successfully keeping them secret for the entirety of the war. They are preserved as they were during the war, and you can visit by guided tour. A truly unique experience that brings to life the wartime experience. Don't miss it!
The famous chalk-white Cliffs of Dover are an awe-inspiring sight, and you can walk along the tops of them for a mile or two. Great spot for a picnic! Familiarize yourself with the classic English tune, "The White Cliffs of Dover" so you can sing it while you're there.
