#ProvostParkPass #SixSummerCastle #WorldTour
Dover Castle commands the Strait of Dover, the shortest sea crossing between England and continental Europe, a position of strategic importance throughout history.
Castle Hill was shaped into massive defences capped by medieval walls and towers and later, from the mid 18th century, by the earthworks of a garrisoned infantry and artillery fortress. Beneath the surface, cut into the chalk of the North Downs, are networks of tunnels to enable the garrison to move, plan and live in safety.
King Henry II began to build the present castle in the 1180s, and over the next 800 years its buildings, defences and tunnels were adapted to meet the changing demands of warfare, right into the era of nuclear weapons.
As a Londoner it’s great to see you in the UK we call it the union flag when flown on land and the Union Jack only when it’s flown at see.
I wondered about that. Thanks for the clarification.
Interesting!! Never knew that. Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing this. I know a lot of English history... so much so that my daughter ditched me in Westminster Abbey because I was sharing too much about too many crypts. This, however, is something that I didn't know. More for my arsenal of fun facts.
And there is a right way and a wrong way to fly the flag
Chris, My wife and I are really enjoying the Castle content. By the way, YOU and your family make the world a better place! I can’t tell you how much your “positive” messages mean to us! Stay safe and keep up the great work.
Chris and Amanda and Milles good vlog and thank you and keep up the good you do love jarl
Can you imagine knights climbing those stairs in their full armor?
Thanks Chris, that was really cool to see the castle. I kept trying to peak around the corners, but the camera didn't follow me. Crazy! But did you know, Medieval Kings and Queens were afraid of the rain in the middle ages because the rain would storm the castle. Ah Haaaa!
Ÿou are the best Blogger ever ❤❤❤
Dover Castle is the quintessential castle. It was built by Henry II because was all about his image. When the King of France showed up on the beach of Dover unannounced one day he had no place to host (or impress) him in the area. So he decided to build the boldest castle he could right at the shore of Dover. The site has been a defensive point for centuries. There are even ruins of a Roman lighthouse on the grounds.
So AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! So great to see you expanding into something not house of mouse related!!!!!
Spiral staircases in castle always turn in the same direction so that (right handed) invaders would have trouble wielding their swords while the defenders above would have more room to do so.
Chris, I don't know anything about this landmark in England and I was beyond amazed. What I picked up on this video was this castle was all built on manual labor. Back then, they didn't have a lot of resources to build these kind of things like they do now. The story about Dunkirk was so fascinating to learn in the movie, I can't emphasize how good it was. History really interests me so much and I can't wait to learn more about what England has to offer. I will put this down on my bucket list.
BTW, I have to say that PPP makes this world so much better in so many beautiful ways. Chris, Amanda, and Miles: You're such a wonderful Disney loving family who cares about their community so much! You guys bring so much peace, love, joy, and happiness to my life.
I always appreciate your personal message. I wonder if you and Amanda really know just how much it matters that you speak this directly to your viewers. Thank you for the frequent reminders that we all have value and that tough times do get better. Hope the cruise was incredibly fulfilling. Love you guys. ❤
I love that you’re in my country, especially as I found your channel while researching Disneyland
If you do come back, I’d love to give you a guide round Cambridge , my hometown
Hope you all enjoy the cruise ❤❤
Wow stairs looked treacherous, but the view was awesome. I hear ship wifi has gotten better and recently
You went into a typical English Castle and traveled back in the Middle Era. When England and France didn't get along. Or most likely siblings issue (Hundred Years War)
🏴🟥🦁⚔️🇫🇷🟦⚜️
Thanks for taking us along to the castle, Chris. I loved getting to see all those inner stairs and chambers. A nice change and great for those of us who cannot travel. Bless you and Amanda and Miles.🥰
Wow, how impressive and fascinating. Thankyou Chris, for once again bringing us along to see something that a lot of us will never get to see.
Oh, you are so right about the identity of our modern day "Queen" ! All hail to our Queen!
You notice the way the stairs curve means that you could have your sword arm free (right arm) on the way up the stairs. They would have had glass makers by the time the castle was made and it would have been plastered and painted too in places, other parts would have been wooden and their would have been tapestries all over the place too. As well as lots of plush soft furnishings, cushions, curtains etc in the main rooms, not the stair wells, they would likely have had shutters on windows too. It was great fun to explore it with you, many thanks PPP family :)
Founded in 11th century and known as the largest castle , "Key to England" for its defensive importance. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVED visiting Dover Castle a few years ago. It was a big highlight of my trip to England. That hole they bored from whatever story of the castle to like a mile below ground a thousand years ago (or whatever it was)... amazing!! Like how did they do all that back then? "I'm not saying it was stone masons... but it was stone masons"
Thanks for Visiting Dover castle. It's on a site used for 1000's of years. Hope you enjoyed the Dunkirk tunnels. Return to the wartime hospital tunnels. Did you know Hitler demanded that Dover was not to be bombed because he wanted to capture Dover castle and call it his own as it would be seen as the bastion of the UK Falling. Another fact was that the castle was made big and grand because the French were going to be visiting but he had no fancy or strong place to welcome them. ... That's why it made big and grand. The castle has also been used for lots of Disney films including " into the woods."
All spiral staircases in castles go up to the right (clockwise) because all swordsmen were right handed, so when the castle was under attack it was easier to fight and defend the castle by using your sword downwards. Trying to fight upwards was difficult
General Eisenhower commanded WWII from the tunnels. All the planing was as done there and there are tunnels to tours. Love Dover castle
I was there in 95…I walked to the top to see that view…. It was close. You got to see a great view!
3 castle were conditioned by Henry ll. Rochester, Canterbury and Dover were built along the original Watling street that joined London to Dover when pilgrims were on their holy pilgrimages to Rome.
When I visited England castles the stairs were the worst. Have to remember they were shorter/smaller on average. The poor would generally only get meat once a week, because even if they raised meat animals they sold those. The royal guards were called Beef eaters as beef was part of their wages.
All I could think of when you showed the banquet room was dilly dilly! 😂
Thank you for the video. My family on my mothers side were from England and France. Her maiden name was Bowman. At some point some of the forefathers were "bowman or bowmen" for someone in England. They handled and used bows in fighting for England, hence the name. lolol
My family on my mother’s side was from England “Prescott” and my dad’s is from northern France- small world
I’m making my way through your World Travel Video series - I love it! You did great! Nice work Provost Park Pass! Keep it uuuuup! Much love from Vancouver WA!
I hope one day you can get to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany to see the inspiration for Disney’s castles.
Stair cases spin up and to the right so a defender can swing down with their right hand, while an attacker would have to use their left (typically non dominate) hand.
What an experience for your son.
Castle stairs are SO narrow and steep! I remember being in Dumfermline in Scotland and couldn't believe the stairs. All I could think is how would they run up and down these or move in them with their dresses? I love you all have been able to do this adventure and thank you for sharing it!!!
I can’t wait to see the cruise ship! How fun!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m a big Plantagenet & Tudor history fan so these videos are such icing on the cake for your trip!
Wow! The theming at Doverland is amazing. Mostly walk through attractions assures that you get your steps in. No thrill rides though, but that's okay. Lol.
Just real quick. You mentioned in your video that you might not post for a few days and I appreciate the heads up. I miss your posts but I am glad you are enjoying time with your family! Have fun. I look forward to seeing all your adventures when you get back.
Thank you for taking us on a tour of Dover Castle. ❤️ Love your Disney videos but showing us a little bit of UK history was brilliant 🇬🇧 Cheers!
Great to see you in the UK. Our flag is The Union Flag on land and The Union Jack when at sea. If you come back to do our theme parks, the parks I would start with are Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Chessington World of Adventure, Legoland, Oakwood, Flamingo Land, Fantasy Island, and Drayton Manor are a good starting point.
You can youtube the tunnels, so we can explore them like you did , not feeling left out, thank you for bringing this history to me , or us.😊
Lovely to see the Provost family in the UK. Please do include Ireland on your return trip to Europe and please consider coming to our theme park, Emerald Park. We would so love to have you visit 💕 ❤
Hi Chris. The Dover House Hotel down the hill from the Dover Castle has a room named after the Dover Castle. I stayed there for a few nights.
Those stairs gave me serious Sleeping Beauty vibes, and I'm feeling nostalgic watching this, remembering how much I wanted to explore those many stairs and dark passageways in her castle.
I'd say more like The Sword of the Stone, King Arthur 🏴🟥🦁. There's a bunch of armors and weapons around that castle
Sleeping Beauty is a French Princess 🇫🇷🟦⚜️
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 For the castle style in general, yes, but those winding stairs! I don't have to be in the exact location to get my imagination ignited.
@@WWatch48 It's ok. No problem 👍
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Agreed. There's no problem with making different connections. It's more interesting that way anyway. Wouldn't it be so boring if we saw everything the same? Random thought throwing here.
Love seeing you are in Dover, we live 30 minutes away and don’t visit it enough! Wish we could of popped to see you 😂 have a great time in the Uk ❤
KINDNESS MATTERS👏❤️👏👏
How cool to see Dover Castle. Thank you for making that hike and video. From Ryan and Sandi in Seattle
Can’t wait to see more wanders xx
Wow you guys are having an amazing trip!!
I love all your footage vlogs!! Save travels!!❤
Mel Gibson's film version of Hamlet was partially filmed at Dover Castle which might explain when Americans think of a castle they think of somewhere like Dover.
Love Castles, WOW thanks! 2nd Class Titanic Officer Charles Lightoller survived the sinking and he survived Dunkirk
The stairs were built to defend with your right hand, but if your trying to fight your way up the right hand is a hindrance as you'll be hitting the wall.
The handrails are a modern addition they did not have any.
No Popcorn that came from America.
You ate with your fingers
Actually, the windows are wider inside the castle so the archers had room to maneuver when they shoot off arrows.
Thank you so much for the tour! (Parts of the castle were used in Avengers: Age of Ultron 😁)
Thanks Provost Family!! I NEED to go to!
Wow! Fantastic post! (And if you can get your kid into History, you are doing good!)
Thanks...
Thanks for taking us along. What history in that area.
Love this tour!
Thank you for all the sights and sounds.
And I love how they have added all of the hangings and adornments to several of the rooms in the castle so we can see what it would look like instead of just empty blank stone rooms
Wow, I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for taking us on this fantasic tour of the Dover castle, and educating us about its history. Just remarkable! Have a fun time with your family 🎉😊🤗
the castle was cool! thanks!

Excellent! Dover castle is excellent! Hope to learn more. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love this visit to the castle. I can't wait to see the rest of your adventures along your cruise.
Right near me!! Enjoy Kent. Did you like the tunnels? Lots of history there.
It reminds me of the Tower of London.
Thanks for showing us the inside of Dover Castle. That was really interesting.

So interesting! Loving your travel videos.
I've been to Dover Castle. It's so beautiful out there. Good times 😃
Seeing the castle was pretty neat! Sorry, I don’t know much about the Dover Castle, but I hope others can help you~
If you get a chance or you want to you should see some of the castles in germany like in Bavaria and in Switzerland like in the aarau area there is one by holderbank ag that belong to the hapsberg it was built in the 1200 I think it was more of a fort there is no furniture then there is castle wildegg and lenzberg I saw all 3 would love to see them again
Wonderful to see that castle. Hope you get more info.
Your video was so nice. You are making me want to visit the UK some more! ✨
Lol. Did the King have to pay the electric bill for lights so the Knights could see at night . Lol 😆🤣 maybe it was the court jester with his bad jokes for all. 🤣🙊🙉🙈🤣 Great Vlog for those that will never visit it. Bet miles had a ball
Bad joke jester. Ham on cheeze hold the mayo.🤣🤣
❤awesome video thank you Chris for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. I love history. Can't wait to see More videos of your trip
Is this free to the public or did you guys have to pay a fee to see the castle?
If you go to Switzerland to any of the castles I mentioned I can see if my brother who lives there can meet up with you and take you around those but let me know so I can see if he is available
Right now he is having a hard time depressed because he lost his job and can't find another one so I have been trying to cheer him up
Love you guys thank you
Please come to Silver Dollar City in Missouri! 🎉
Awesome video...I love the castle tour! Thanks for filming it. The U.K. is such a special place!!
I love this video!!!
Looks a little different to the usual castles you visit Chris! Love your video’s 😊
Parts of Disney's into the woods were filmed at Dover castle!
Wikipedia has a good description. The Romans built tqo lighthouses there. William the Conquerer burned it to the ground and then paid to have it rebuilt. Henry II added the most.
Ever thought of investing in a wireless lapel microphone. Some of the other videos I watch have them and it dramatically cuts out the wind noise.
You’re an awesome 😎 UA-cam channel.
That is interesting-where did Union Jack come from?
There is one in scharfhausen germany they have weapons in that one
The castle was made from the hands of Benjamin Dover, First of his name. His friends called him Crafty Ben Dover, and he loved to entertain large masses of people. He would conscript the local townsfolk to raise 200 pigs every year in order to throw a large party where he'd serve them all traditional English breakfasts. Not to be outdone, his cousin Even Dover from Dublin built the exact same castle on the opposite side of England and would compete for who would throw the biggest party. Unfortunately Ben Dover fell ill with trying to keep up with additional pigs and Even Dover won over Ben Dover with his Dublin Pork Turnover. When Ben Dover tried the Dublin Turnover, he fell sick and doubled over. Thus the Dover blunder was done under.
Pip pip. Cheerio!
Most couples have a King And Queen, Okay. There are those that have two Kings or two Queens, Which is again okay. But there is only one that has Two Princes, And they are the Spin Doctors Hmmmm.
Why wear shirt and tie on a hike? Makes no sence..
You obviously don’t watch many of his videos. It’s his “trade mark”😊
@@derradune6722 I've watched many of his videos, he does a good job, just never understand the shirt and tie...
Chris started wearing shirt and tie going to Disneyland after his office job work day ended to create original videos
Hey Chris, let me know when you‘re in Germany. I can guide you through Phantasialand. The launch coaster Taron is mindblowing! 🎢
