Dover Castle: The Key to England at the Gateway to Europe
Dover Castle has been dubbed the “Key to England” due to its location at the frontline of defense. Dover has played an important role in Britain’s history, both as a trading port and as the gateway to England, due to its being the closest town to continental Europe. Although the current castle dates to the Medieval period, the site in southeastern England may have been occupied as early as the Iron Age. Dover Castle served a military function up until the 20th century, after which it became a tourist attraction.
