Dover Castle Video with Peter Snow

Dover Castle through the ages in a ten minute video presented by Peter Snow.

Well worth a watch, and you’ll learn lots about Dover Castle:

• the main keep was started in 1180
• it took 55 years to complete
• the plumbing alone cost £Millions in modern terms
• survived months of seige attack by the French
• through the middle ages to Dunkirk & Operation Dynamo

The video is about ten minutes long, click the link to watch this video of Dover Castle.

You’ll notice a list of other video presentations by celebrities in the right column of the video web page, it’s worth bearing in mind that Eltham Palace (as presented by Laurence Llewellyn Bowen) is just about one hour up the motorway from Dover.

Dover Castle’s Great Tower has been closed for extensive refurbishment and will be re-opening in August, we’ll post more news on that in due course.
