I am joining Alyce at Home with Books for this week's Saturday Snapshot
Following last week's collage of our day out at Leeds Castle , this week's collage is our day out at Dover Castle, Kent.
Situated right on the White Cliffs of Dover, Dover Castle and the surrounding grounds have amazing views over Dover, the busy Ferry Port with regular ferries to France (3rd photo - bottom row) and the White Cliffs.
It was a very packed day with lots to see and do. AJ made a shield in the Arts n Crafts tent. You can see him dressed as a knight in the pic (to the right). It was Halloween and he was disappointed when he saw many children dressed for Halloween. We dashed into the Castle shop and found something to dress up.
The site includes the magnificent medieval castle (main photo), Anglo-Saxon church (3rd photo -top row) and a Roman Lighthouse (1st photo - bottom row).
The Secret Wartime Tunnels and Underground hospital are accessible via guided tours.
There are lots of steep gradients to climb on this day out.

I love the way you put your photos together. We had a great day at Dover Castle about 3 years ago. I think it had just had lots of improvements, but the best bit was there were actors scattered around the castle in medieval dress. I had to sit and watch the lovely view, while rest of family went in the wartime tunnels. Not my thing.
ReplyDeleteThank u. I use Pic Monkey.
DeleteThe wartime tunnels were very interesting and I was pretty good considering I dont like confined spaces.

Such wonderful history in a castle! I have to travel pretty far to see one. I like the collage format for your photos.

ReplyDeleteHow nice to live so close to such fantastic places to visit! Love the photo collage, so many angles and colours etc.
ReplyDeleteSo cool of you to get him something to dress up! I've always wanted to see the white cliffs of Dover in person. I hadn't realized there was a castle there too.
ReplyDeleteAJ happy poses. He's enjoying himself.
ReplyDeleteThe history of the castles always fascinates me.
Very nice photos.

So jealous of your castle outing. I was just revisiting a scene I wrote in a novel where a woman takes her kids to Tintagel castle where King Arthur was said to have lived. I know, other side of England. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteGreat to see a collage and such beautiful pictures too :D

How wonderful. It really is shameful that there are so many places I have yet to visit in my home country.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how or why but my blog has changed to google+, my blog profile has disappeared and I'm unable to sign in as Petty Witter which is causing some confusion. Anyone else having similar problems?
thank you for your lovely comments, folks.
