The Western Heights is a series of fortifications that together formed the largest Napoleonic fortification in Britain. Structures include the Citadel, the Drop Redoubt, the Detached Bastion and the North Entrance as well as many other important features designed to work together to fight off a French invasion by Napoleon.
The area is good for walking, views across Dover and the channel, and history buffs.
The area is looked after by The Western Heights Preservation Society (WHPS) a volunteer-run organisation.
