![]() This one of the views you get from the top of the Keep. The Keep was basically the house. When King Henry the 8th came to Dover, he lived there. By this time the weather had turned from being crisp to freezing. The wind was so bitter I thought my skin must be bleeding under my clothes. But, I took photos of Dover and the castle grounds from every available angle, despite my eyes streaming with tears. I wasn't being a baby, I think the bitter wind was taking all the moisture from my eyeballs with it. I must have been a bit of a spectacle though, all alone at the top of an old stone castle, morbid weather and tears streaming down my face. |

![]() This is a view of Dove from the cliffs. Eventually I realised that I was running out of time, and I tore myself away from the castle. Little did I realise how far away I still was from the starting point of my walk. I did get there eventually, and I started the walk, but the sun was disappearing rapidly, and I found myself being very unsure of the directions I was reading. In the end I decided that it was probably not terribly smart for me to wander along a cliff edge in the dark, with no credit on my phone in case of emergencies. Instead I took a rather convoluted route, which spat me out on the main road to Dover harbour. On my way there I took in some amazing scenery. |
