This museum sits within the Keep at Dover Castle and tells the story of England's senior infantry regiment, the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment and the regiments that came before it. You'll find objects and stories spanning centuries of army history, from the regiment's origins in 1572 through to modern conflicts, including the tale of Victoria Cross recipient Johnson Beharry. It suits visitors with an interest in military history and Kent's regimental heritage, and works well combined with a wider look around Dover Castle itself. Based in Dover, Kent, it's within easy reach if you're staying locally, with Dover Priory station 0.8 miles away and St Margaret's Bay beach 3.1 miles away, plus 23 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays.
