A new digital reconstruction of Dover Castle, which took over 800 hours to complete, shows how Dover Castle looked before a siege in 1216. The model reveals the castle’s original entrance, lost towers and long-gone defensive walls. 🏰 From 22 July, visitors can learn about the siege in a new exhibition, explore the medieval and Georgian tunnels and enjoy a new panoramic view of the castle for the first time. Plus, in the brand new play area, children can get to grips with siege tactics. Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/esSBm2j3
