Definitely worth a visit, you need a good 4 hours on site - There's lots to see here and you need flat shoes! All the English Heritage staff were great and very welcoming.

Really relaxed and beautiful - Dover Castle is the biggest castle in England so you would expect it to be busy - it was. But seeing as it was big, people were generally dispersed throughout the 85 acres of grounds. There are interactive exhibitions, viewing platforms and a wide range of stuff you can see. There are tours throughout the war tunnels but you don't have to pay extra for them which was great. Generally the visit was relaxed and enjoyable. There were no tour guides hustling you about or anything, and there were lots of nice picnic benches and cafés to enjoy a refreshment or a break. The grounds are really well maintained and a lot of it is open to view. The views from on top of the towers are amazing and everything has a fascinating history. It is great for school trips or families and anyone who enjoys castles or scenery. It takes maybe 2+ hours to do at least but the nice thing is that you can go at your own pace. I spent 4 hours at a fairly slow pace so as to fully experience everything I wanted to.

Dover Castle well worth seeing! - There are many things to do and see on this 80 + acres. Best if you can spend at least 2-3 hours so you don't miss out on the fantastic history of this beautiful castle.
