Dover Castle is a medieval castle in Dover, Kent, England and is Grade I listed. It was founded in the 11th century and has been described as the "Key to England" due to its defensive significance throughout history.[1][2] Some writers say it is the largest castle in England,[3] a title also claimed by Windsor Castle.[4]
