Walmer Castle is the official residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, a rôle tht dates back to Anglo-Saxon times, over a thousand years ago. Walmer castle, however, was built in the sixteenth century. Today it is run by English Heritage and is open to tourists. You can see, they say, the Duke of Wellington’s Wellington Boots.
Walmer Castle is far and away the most imposing survival of all Henry the Eighth’s Fortresses, as for some two centuries it has been, with interludes, the residence of the Lord Wardens of the Cinque-Ports, and maintained by the Crown in a condition suitable to such a purpose. [...] It stands some two miles beyond Deal, picturesquely poised above the broad sandy strip that separates the gentle upward slope of the Walmer district from the uncomfpromising line of the steep shingle beach, to the cliff headland of Kingsdown.
