Dover Castle is situated in Kent and has been described as the "Key to England" due to its defensive significance throughout history. The castle, secret tunnels and surrounding land are now owned by English Heritage and the site is a major tourist attraction. The Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports is officially head of the castle, in his conjoint position of Constable of Dover Castle.

Also see Dover's "Forgotten Fortress" embedded into the Western Heights on the other side of the valley.
