Dover Castle, located in the town of Dover in the English county of Kent, is a medieval castle that was built in the 11th century. Known as the 'Key to England' due to its historical defensive importance, it is the largest castle in England. Along with Canterbury and Rochester Castle, it is one of the three original royal castles in Kent.
