My son and I did this, it was to be two explores ended up one and a half due to me feeling not too good, I put it down to dehydration and lack of food, lesson learned.
It was a cold and blowy afternoon, on way down we scouted another explore, which we did Thursday.
We couldn’t believe how open it was, straight in, first impressions were wow, magnificent craftsmanship and so old.
HISTORY
It was built end of 18th Century to connect the moat Bulwark to Dover Castle, some 214 stairs lead you to the top where you can see into the castle through a grill.
The Moat Bulwark was built by Henry the Eighth to defend against any invasion on Dover harbour.
It has seen many uses over the years, serving as a shelter for, seaplane staff in ww1, and gun crew in ww2,
There are sealed tunnels that lead off the shaft on each level.
The shaft is apparently named after the lawn in front of it.
Concluding:
If anyone has any more info love to hear it, as regards use etc.
All in all a nice hassle free explore nice and clean graffiti wise, (only chalk graffiti).
Heres a few pics.
