The Admiralty Lookout at Dover Castle has now been opened to the public from this weekend and as great job they have done too !!
Despite my initially worries about what they could do with it, there is a lot of interpretation and a lot of original fabric retained. It is also a great spot to shelter from the elements and watch the action over the channel... http://www.flickr.com/photos/doverpast/sets/72157606010876452/
There are also major works taking place later this year (the £££ reported earlier in the year) in the Keep updating the displays so that will be an interesting one too.
Well worth the 30p a week to become a Friend of Dover Castle
"the siege experience is due for a new audio/visual experience too."
I believe that this is being moved upstairs as part of the works. There are also a number of excavation going on around the keep too which should be interesting.
