Guests may depart or, for those staying on, a visit can be arranged to the famous Wartime Tunnels in Dover Cliffs.   [It was from here that so much of the war was controlled, and many Battle of Britain pilots, shot down in the channel, were treated in the underground hospital.   A visit to these tunnels, first dug in the time of Napoleon and enlarged during WWII, makes a fascinating day out.]
