I recently visited Dover Castle, a spectacular castle that was built by King Henry II in 1180 to protect the English coast.
Dover Castle sits atop the beautiful white cliffs of Dover that Vera Lynn sang about in the song "The White Cliffs of Dover" during World War II. Deep inside the cliffs are more than four miles of secret tunnels where wartime personnel worked, slept and planned some of the most vital work of World War II. I have visited several castles during my time in England, but I must admit the Secret Wartime Tunnels were what made this particular trip so unique.
