Yes, I've been to Dover Castle by the sea. I sat on the knoll and looked at the sea. Lovely, lovely castle. If I'm not wrong there are underground tunnels from where the second world War was fought across the continent. I think Dunkirk operation was monitored from here. It has been turned into a museum now. Thank you for bringing back the memories.
Yes we mention Dunkirk and the tunnels near the end of the video. Sadly no video or photography is allowed in the tunnels. Bit of a shame, but very interesting to walk around and visit under the cliffs.
I appreciate a good reconstruction, especially one like the Dover Castle interior you show here. I like that this is a castle rather than a palace, and the interior (I love the patterned brick and simple heraldry designs) reflects an early period in English history. A good vantage point has value no matter the times; so much of interest here. Thank you for sharing it! Stay cool!
Agree, I think English Heritage have done a grand job of reconstructing what might have been and present the castle in such an interesting manner.
Piękna wycieczka!!! Dzięki Panu mam możliwość, zobaczyć te cudowne miejsca, nie wychodząc z domu. Piękna praca!!! piękna pasja!!! Dziękuję bardzo. Serdecznie pozdrawiam 👍😘
To był fascynujący zamek, więc cieszę się, że możemy go Państwu przynieść bez konieczności podróżowania!
A lovely tour and stunning photography and a history lesson with your calming voice...perfection! My favorites were the antique doors and hardware (gorgeous) and that backgammon board - but the close-up video mixed with aerial footage and panoramic views...just spectacular! Thank you both for yet another wonderful upload! 👍👍👍 "thank you" ~ Lisa in 🌲 New Hampshire 🇺🇸
Thank you Lisa glad you found it interesting and entertaining.
Hello. I'm a volunteer explainer at Dover Castle ( seen in this video at 5:17 standing on the left with a union jack face mask). For your information, the beautiful doors shown are made of solid oak boards and braces, iron rivets fasten them together. The decorative ironwork is wrought Iron, and the white facings are not paint but white leather.
When I see these stone walls I think about the history they had saw through centuries. Amazing. Beautiful video as usual. Cheers.
If they could talk! :)
Hey guys i have been here, but not since 2004. I was 10 years but still remeber this Castle fondly. Must go back to visit this castle. I really enjoy your videos.
You should! Thanks so much for watching.
The castle is amazing and the view from the castle is excellent.
Many thanks
This is one video that has to be watched again and again. Great job as usual. Loved music choices. Blessings
Hope you do Joen, yes the music worked out really well on this one ☺
ANOTHER INCREDIBLE HISTORICAL CASTLE OF ENGLAND! THANKS FOR TAKING TO VISIT ALONG WITH YOUR VIDEO. MARVELOUS VLOG! 👀👏👍🏻🌟🏅🌚
Fascinating history, beautiful scenery, epic views! This video has it all. Would like to visit in person one day, but this was the next best thing. Thank you!💕💕
You cannot beat a proper visit, hope you make it there one day.
Thanks for a very interesting tour history information. A very impressive castle and wonderful to see that it is being so well maintained. And why not, England has a history to be proud of.
Glad you enjoyed it
It's mind-blowing to me that we can get documentary-quality videos on UA-cam for free. Fantastic job, you've got a new subscriber!
Welcome aboard! Thanks you for joining.
Another fascinating tour and historical narrative. Loved seeing so many well shot details and hearing the wonderful mood setting music, as always. Thanks so much gentlemen!
Our pleasure Nancy. Thanks for watching.
Давно хотела увидеть этот замок изнутри ... Спасибо вам большое - это действительно фантастическая прогулка! Очень вас любим и всегда с нетерпением ждем встречи!
Так приятно, что наконец-то мы смогли показать вам замок.
One can immediately tell that Dover Castle was meant for business, not pleasure. Very impressive.
Haha it certainly was, who would have thought one thousand years later it was still important!
Excellent video!!!! A beautiful castle with a lot of history. Thank you. I was very excited about this video & you never disappoint!😊
So much history but I guess having been around for one thousand years it would have a few tales to tell.
I was just there two weeks ago…excellent presentation!! I love the aerial shots you can’t see when you’re actually there. I walked the White Cliffs first then trekked up to the castle. A lot of great walking/ hiking! Definitely better than anything we have here in Texas, lol.
Awesome! Thank you, must do a walk on the white cliffs one day. Never done it.
Sir Simon. Fantastic video! Dover Castle was worth the wait. Just got done watching it for the third time ( made sure i didn’t miss anything)
And the videography was fantastic. It’s like watching BBC special. Thank You so much for sharing your talents and your video.👍👍👍👍👍
Haha a BBC special, I like that. Glad you enjoyed the tour and the footage. Was a great day to be filming.
The weather looked perfect. The whole area looked beautiful. It looked like a perfect day to go filming and you did an amazing job. Enjoyed it very much.
Have a wonderful day Sir Simon.
Finally, I got my chance to watch in peace and time just flew by. I loved every minute of the video. I can’t believe I have never been. It’s fascinating. So much history and in a stunning location. My favourite composer, Thomas Tallis, started his career in Dover, and now I can understand how he got from there to London, with the importance of the castle keeping Dover on the king‘s radar. Thank you for pointing out when things were re-creations. It’s impressive how much effort has been made to preserve everything. The Roman lighthouse is utterly incredible. They were just phenomenal builders, weren’t they? I will definitely visit at the next possibility.
Очень нравятся английские замки,с удовольствием смотрю ваши ролики.Большое спасибо за вашу работу.👍
спасибо за комментарий и за просмотр.
One of the things I always wanted to do was to actually walk through a castle like this, marveling as I climb staircases and touch walls so old. That this castle is still used for defense is marvelous.
Yes it is amazing to be able to walk around these Castles. Dover has not been used as a defensive castle since World War II its now run by English Heritage so we can tour around.☺
That was so beautiful. What a building, thanks so much for the history, just loved it. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe and take care
Haya. Dover castle is 1 on my 'to go to' list. Wonderful seeing around the castle through your great filming. Think of ALL that history the castle has, WOW. Thanku so much for sharing. x
Certainly worth the trip.
Thank you for this wonderful tour👏👏👏
As always Carol thank you for watching.
Yay another tour with the Memorymakers =-) Now that must be the castle that many stories / movies are based around, the structure, the baileys, the inner grounds. I live in New Zealand but if I ever had the thought of going to England this would be the type of sightseeing that I would want to do. I love your journeys, many places that an oversees tourist would never get to. Thank you. And you have now 80, 000 subscribers, totally awesome.
I am sure many things have been filmed here for sure. Yes amazing we are at 80K now, can hardly believe it. ☺
Was there in 1986. Lovely cliffs.
👍☺
We just LOVE this video. I can really envision the past. Thank you. So well done.
Thanks so much!
Yeyyyyyy another lovely trip❤️
Yes it was!
What a coincidence! Just two weeks ago I traveled to RIAT 2022 in Fairford via Dover, back and forth. I saw that interesting castle up on the hill and thought that it must be worth a visit. Now I know - it is. Thanks for the nice footage, very much appreciated! Cheers, Herb
Hello Herb, thanks for watching, next time you are down that way indeed take a half day at least to visit!
My son visited a couple years back and unfortunately the castle was closed.
He decided to do a walk about even though it was a rainy miserable day.
He slipped in the wet grass and was caked in mud.
His comment was “I have Dover soil embedded on my jeans” (giggle).
Thank you so much for the great tour along with the history.
Oh no, I can see how easy you can slip over it is very hilly in places. Still a story to tell and a giggle. 😆
Another wonderful video ! If it wasn't for King James I wouldn't be sitting where I'm sitting now. My ancestors were Puritans who left for New England
Thank you so much, you have quite an ancestry!
Like before watching 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!☺
Im mesmerized by castles beauty... ur photography, visualization & narration is so bewitching & so soothing that i literally felt im a part of ur journey in live rather watching... thank u for such a amazing video...👏👏 the places u travel is quite interesting & historic that i love so much enjoying it...
Great, great tour for another historic site. It's incredible how well preserved are the castle from medieval ages, fortress history is fascinating, the details shown bring us back to time. Congratulations, I like so much your videos 🤩
Many thanks! Lovely to hear you enjoyed it.
I really love all the places you visit. Keep on sharing 👍
More to come!
Thank you great tour .
Until now I had no idea that Dover Castle had actually been used during WWI, for the same purpose for which it was constructed. Thanks again, Simon and Will, for another superb history lesson!
Thank you for watching glad you found out something new.
Stunning castle, great video and good matching music ☺️
Many thanks! So glad you liked the music !
We soooo enjoyed this video!
Great to see the interior with all it's furnishings. Your video brought it alive for us!
Thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
Hello there. A very professional, informative and enjoyable video. I’m really enjoying your videos, taking me to places that I can’t visit but am very interested in. Thank you both so much.
Hello, thank you for the lovely comment. So glad you like them.
Who knew that the Romans built lighthouses?? Amazed to see that Dover castle has been a part of modern defence as well as in ancient times. It did look cold though, and rather windswept. Loved the drone shots & also your concise history. Thanks for sharing. Love from Australia.
Thank you, another very well done tour, loved the music, it added to the ambience
Thanks for the tour.
Our pleasure 😊
I've never been to Dover or this castle, but it looks a most brilliant place. The castle is very impressive, and I never realised how huge it is. A most enjoyable video and well filmed, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic as usual your commentary is always interesting
☺Thank you!
So much history and the background music is very good too, another spot to visit on my next trip to the UK, thank you and goodnight.🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
The music is always hard to find but I think this time it all came together quite well!
Hello..from land below the wind,Borneo,Malaysia.
Hello from London!
Just seen this, lovely to watch, lovely views over the castle, and love the history of castles, thankyou
Reproduced textiles esp are stunning. Really aid in appreciating the castle.
Yet another great video ! I would love to someday visit Dover Castle myself .
Thank you David, very kind. Hope you do visit.
Enjoyed your video. Fascinating and very informative,as always . Looking forward to the next video.
More to come, glad you liked it.
The castle was also used in the Doctor Who story “The Mind Of Evil” starring Jon Pertwee
I wish you all the best, I enjoyed watching your vidéo without any rush 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Awesome as usual. Thanks 👍

Excellent information thank you 😊 👍

@@SECRETORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR hello.i was born in transylvania.then peru.then canada now england.for work
🤩⚘👍❤

I never hear of Hendinghan (?) castle. All that is left is the original main building only, but a fascinating norman castle.
Wish you had shown the magnificent fireplaces and especially the one with the Tutor Rose on each corner.
Sorry we missed it sometimes you start enjoying walking around and forget to film bits, a balance between filming and seeing it for yourself.
👍👍👍❤❤❤
☺
Excellent video with details. By the way, what is the name of the music from 11:00, sir? Thank you so much.
Hello the music around 11 minutes is called *Close to his Sword by Bonnie Grace* . We get our music from a royal free site called Epidemic Sound but I suspect you can find it elsewhere too.
👍🎩⚘❤
☺👍
I am curious to know why are the emblems on the flags similar regardless of country? For example we see what looks like lions or dragons on flags in medieval flags whether it be in England, Spain or other countries.
Whats the best way to dover castle frm manchester? Id like to see it in person🙂
By Train it would be Manchester Piccadilly to Euston then Tube to St Pancras for a train to Dover Priory. A 20 min walk from there to Castle. You could not do it in a day. Need to stay over either in London or Dover.
@@MemorySeekers thankyou🙂
Не Дувский, а ДувРский замок. Исправьте название на русском, пожалуйста. Досадная опечатка.
Боюсь, так это понимает гугл-переводчик. Не полное доказательство переводов, как мы знаем. Когда будет время поправлю. Спасибо за то, что дали нам знать.
it cost,s to much
I wonder what’s up that “no access” stairwell🫣
