Reviews
Dover
Castle View is set in the historic coastal town of Dover, offering a distinctive setting where dramatic landscapes and centuries of history meet. Positioned beneath the famous White Cliffs, the town enjoys a striking coastal backdrop, with scenic walks leading directly from the centre towards open countryside and clifftop paths. Dover’s seafront and harbour area are close by, providing a mix of maritime activity, coastal walks and wide views across the English Channel.
The town is dominated by the iconic Dover Castle, one of England’s most important historic sites, with its medieval walls, secret wartime tunnels and panoramic views stretching as far as France on clear days. The town centre offers a selection of cafés, pubs and shops, while the nearby St Margaret’s Bay and Kingsdown provide quieter beaches and excellent coastal walking. The White Cliffs of Dover Visitor Centre is also within easy reach, offering well-marked trails and family-friendly routes.
Dover is well connected for exploring further afield, with easy road access via the A2 and fast rail services linking Dover Priory with London. Nearby Deal, Sandwich and Canterbury offer additional dining, shopping and cultural attractions, making Castle View an excellent base for short breaks or longer stays exploring Kent’s historic and coastal landscapes.

Drop by Dover Museum
Dover Museum is situated in the Market Square in the centre of Dover. Dover Museum is one of the oldest museums in Kent, originally founded in 1836. In 1991 the museum was rehoused in a brand new three-storey building, situated behind its original Victorian facade.
Visit the Secret Wartime Tunnels
The network of tunnels within the white cliffs beneath Dover Castle served as a barracks for soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars, became a headquarters and hospital during the Second World War, and were equipped to serve as a Regional Seat of Government in the 1960s in the event of nuclear war. The collection for Dover Castle illustrates their entire history. From weapons and technology to uniforms and personal possessions, the highlights shown here provide a glimpse into the lives of the men and women who served their country from Dover Castle.
