Constable's Gate
Henry III (1207–1272) carried out repair work at Dover Castle during the First Baron's War , and the outer curtain wall, with twenty individual towers, was completed to create a large outer bailey stretching to the edge of the cliff. The resplendent Constable's Gate was constructed, and by this time Dover Castle had reached its full potential.
Built to replace the former entrance, the Constable's Gate comprises a cluster of different sized round towers situated high above the ditch, with spur bases dropping deep in order to command all angles of attack. Cylindrical towers join over the entrance passage to the front, and at the rear the Constable's living quarters were located. Although the entrance passage has survived from the medieval period, the Constable's living quarters have been subsequently modernised.
