Top Attractions in Dover
💡 Key is available from the tourist office next door if it's locked. Look for the Roman bricks reused in the walls.
💡 Free entry, but they appreciate a £2 donation. Allow 45 minutes — it's compact but dense. The boat gallery can get busy on wet weekends.
💡 Best at sunrise when the light hits the cliffs. The beach is shingle, not sand, so bring a thick mat or chair. Avoid swimming — strong currents.
💡 Go at low tide to see the Grand Shaft spiral staircase from the outside. Wear sturdy shoes — the paths are uneven.
💡 Book online ahead to save 15%; the Secret Wartime Tunnels tour is worth the extra cost but can sell out by midday in summer.
