Dover is a coastal town in England’s southeastern county of Kent. It’s a major port for ferries to Calais, in France. Built to repel invasions from across the English Channel, medieval Dover Castle overlooks the town and houses the extensive Secret Wartime Tunnels. The iconic White Cliffs of Dover are symbolic safeguards at Britain’s closest point to continental Europe.
Dover is a town and major ferry port in the home county of Kent, in South East England. It faces France across the strait of Dover, the narrowest part of the English Channel, and lies south-east of Canterbury; east of Kent's county town Maidstone; and north-east along the coastline from Dungeness and Hastings. The town is the administrative centre of the Dover District and home of the Dover Calais ferry through the Port of Dover. The surrounding chalk cliffs are known as the White Cliffs of Dover.
Dover strategic position has been evident throughout its history: archaeological finds have revealed that the area has always been a focus for peoples entering and leaving Britain. The name of the town derives from the name of the river that flows through it, the River Dour. The town has been inhabited since the Stone Age according to archaeological finds, and Dover is one of only a few places in Britain – London, Edinburgh, and Cornwall being other examples – to have a corresponding name in the French language, Douvres.
There was a military barracks in Dover, which was closed in 2007. Although many of the former ferry services have declined, services related to the Port of Dover provide a great deal of the town’s employment, as does tourism. The prospect of privatising the sale of the Port of Dover to create increased cash flow for the government was given a recent ironic twist due to the rejection of a possible bid from the town of Calais in France after opposition in Dover against any sale forced the government to withdraw the Port from the market. Local residents had clubbed together to propose buying it for the community, more than 12,000 people have bought a £10 share in the People's Port Trust.
Dover is near the extreme south-east corner of Britain between Deal and Folkestone. At South Foreland, the nearest point to the continent, Cap Gris Nez near Calais is 34 kilometres (21 mi) away, across the Strait of Dover - because of this, the town is strongly associated with France
Dover’s main communications artery, the A2 road replicates two former routes, connecting the town with Canterbury. The railway reached Dover from two directions: the South Eastern Railway's main line connected with Folkestone in 1844, and the London, Chatham and Dover Railway opened its line from Canterbury in 1861. Trains run from Dover Priory to London Charing Cross, London Victoria or London St Pancras International stations in London, and Ramsgate or Sandwich in Kent. Trains from Dover Priory are run by Southeastern (train operating company). Dover has two long distance footpaths: the Saxon Shore Way and the North Downs Way. Two National Cycle Network routes begin their journey at the town. The Port of Dover is a 20 minute walk from Dover Priory railway station.

Fort Burgoyne, Dover, Kent
Fort Burgoyne, originally known as Castle Hill Fort, was built in the 1860s as one of the Palmerston forts around Dover in southeast England. It was built to a polygonal system with detached eastern and western redoubts, to guard the high ground northeast of the strategic port of Dover, just north of Dover Castle. The fort is named after the 19th century General John Fox Burgoyne, Inspector-General of Fortifications and son of the John Burgoyne who fought in the American Revolutionary War.
After the First World War Fort Burgoyne was used as a military depot or store for Connaught Barracks. Until recently the central part of the fort was still owned by the Ministry of Defence, forming part of the Connaught Barracks site, which is now being redeveloped for housing.
The eastern and western outworks are accessible if you contact the Land Trust, who now own the fort.
The site also includes 104 acres (42 hectares) of land.

DJI Phantom 4 Pro - Fort Burgoyne - Dover's Forgotten Military Historic Fort - 2019
Fort Burgoyne is one of some 70 forts and batteries around England established wholly or in part as a result of the 1859 Royal Commission report on the defence of the UK from French invasion. This collection of sites was at the time the largest maritime defence program for 300 years.
Originally called Castle Hill Fort, construction of Fort Burgoyne began in 1861 but before it was finished in December 1873, it was renamed after Field Marshall Burgoyne, Inspector General of Fortifications. The fort has survived well and, although similar to other Royal Commission fortifications, it had extra unique features. It has two wing batteries that are now practically invisible the undergrowth, but at the time were essential to fill the gap between the fort and Dover Castle, with earthworks and tunnels to connect them. During the First World War, brick gun positions and pill boxes were built at the fort, and for the Second World War eleven batteries for 25-pounder field guns were strategically set on concrete emplacements. After the war, the fort served as a military depot for Connaught Barracks until the Barracks were sold for housing development in 2007. Work has not yet begun on the 500 homes planned at the site, but the Barracks have now been demolished.
For me this Fort represents part of my own history growing up in and around it. I remember climbing down into the moats and getting caught by the military patrols. As part of family days, laid on by the families officer, we would learn how to abseil down the battlements and free rope from the old drawbridge, to me it was a playground, surrounded by military. With age comes understanding, and the fascinating history that belongs to this forgotten fort.
Whilst Fort Burgoyne is not open to the public at present, as part of the regeneration it is hoped that this forgotten Fort can be made safe and opened up for visitors.

Connaught rangers!
The Rangers was one of eight Irish regiments raised almost solely in Ireland. Of cause the regiment mainly recruited soldiers from the province of Connacht. The Rangers were sent to the western front and landed in France in Boulonge-sur-Mer as part of the 2nd division, B.E.F. Their marching song it's along way to Tipperary became famous during the war. By October they were largely fighting around the Ypres salient. Following severe losses in 1914, the 2nd battalion of the Rangers was disbanded, the remaining men became part of 1st battalion. In 1916 1st battalion was than sent to the Middle East to fight the ottomans empire. They fought in modern day Iraq to the end of the war. The 3rd (mainly reserve) battalion was based in Galway when war were declared, and would remain in Ireland until November 1917 when they were transported to England. The 4th battalion (also used as a reserve) had been based in Boyle, Ireland. Until it was transported to Scotland. Where it was absorbed by the 3rd battalion in May 1918. The 5th battalion landed in Gallipoli in August 1915 as part of the 10th Irish division. When the 5th was evacuated to Salonika in September 1915.for service in the Macedonian front. They than served in the Middle East and then to the western front in 1918. Lastly the 6th battalion landed in Le Havre as part of the 16th (Irish) Division. They served at the Somme. At the Somme the battalion lost 23 officers and 407 other ranks. In March 1918 the battalion was annihilated during operation Michael where they lost 22 officers and 618 other ranks. Because of these losses the remaining troops were transported to the Leinster regiment. During the Easter rising none of the Rangers were killed however one was wounded. Post war the Rangers were reduced to only 2 battalions. When the Irish war of independence broke out, in 1919, the 2nd battalion was stationed in Dover while the 1st was stationed in India. This was done so no Irishmen could mutiny and join the IRA.
