History & Heritage

Guided walks to South Foreland Lighthouse 2026

Take a leisurely walk along the iconic White Cliffs of Dover with one of our experienced guides. During the walk, you'll hear about the natural history of the cliffs, the geology and human history. You'll see some of the wartime remains, Dover harbour and, weather permitting, some spectacular views of the Dover Strait - one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world - and you may even see France. When you arrive at South Foreland Lighthouse, you'll receive a brief introduction to the lighthouse and your guide will then depart, leaving you to enjoy the stunning grounds and views, take a tour of the tower and have some refreshments in Mrs Knott's tearoom. You can then make your way back to White Cliffs using a variety of paths and tracks.

Heritage Open Days - Wanstone Rediscovered 2026

In July 2022, the remains of one of the Second World War cross-channel guns, nicknamed 'Jane', were uncovered at Wanstone, near Dover, Kent. Part of the largest gun battery ever built in Britain, Jane could fire a 1980 lb/900 kg shell 26 miles/41 km. Meet some of the dedicated team of volunteers who uncovered these remains and now maintain them, and take a tour of the enormous gun site, magazine, crew shelter, artefact store and the D2 Battle of Britain 3.7-inch heavy anti-aircraft battery, which have been hidden since the 1950s. You'll also see an exhibition of wartime plans and a video presentation of photographs of the guns under construction and in action. Guided tours are available on demand, subject to guide availability, and no booking is required.
