Dover Essentials

Dover serves as England's historic gateway, defined by the iconic 350-foot white chalk cliffs and the massive medieval fortress known as the 'Key to England.' This selection spans two millennia of history, featuring one of the world’s oldest Roman lighthouses, well-preserved 2nd-century wall paintings, and a network of Napoleonic-era coastal defenses. These sites highlight the town's strategic military importance and its role as a primary maritime link to continental Europe.

It includes the 2nd-century Roman Painted House, containing unique wall paintings, and the 12th-century ruins of a Knights Templar round church. Victorian-era military engineering is represented by the massive fortifications of Fort Burgoyne and the Drop Redoubt on the Western Heights.
