The tour focuses on the stretch of coast between Dover and Hythe and includes marvels of military architecture such as the Drop Redoubt, the traces left of the massive railway guns used in the Second World War, and the nerve centre of one of Britain’s First World War intelligence hubs fed by information from spies in occupied France and Belgium. In addition, you will see military memorials and graves such as those marking men of the Chinese Labour Corps and pilots of both sides lost during the Battle of Britain.
