Battle of Britain Memorial

Before reaching Dover, we make a stop at the Battle of Britain Memorial, beautifully positioned on top of the iconic White Cliffs. This peaceful clifftop setting offers breathtaking views across the English Channel to France and serves as a moving tribute to the heroes who defended Britain in the skies during World War II. Here you can see replicas of the legendary Spitfire and Hurricane fighter planes, and the names of the courageous pilots who achieved victory in 1940. Visit subject to opening times.

Dover Castle

We continue to the magnificent Dover Castle, one of England’s most historic and awe-inspiring fortresses. Founded in the 12th century, this medieval stronghold has long been known as the “lock and key to England” for its crucial defensive role through the centuries. You will have approximately two hours to explore its fascinating grounds and exhibitions. Step inside the medieval Great Tower, uncover the underground wartime tunnels where Operation Dynamo was planned during the evacuation of Dunkirk, and visit the ancient Roman lighthouse that has stood for nearly 2,000 years. From the castle’s ramparts, enjoy spectacular panoramic views across the English Channel to France.
