One of the benefits of living in the UK is that I get to take day trips to fantastic destinations that are close to London. I recently took a day trip to Dover Castle, the largest castle in England. Described as the “Key to England,” due to its defensive significance throughout history, Dover Castle not only boasts a rich history, an incredibly well-preserved tower, and beautiful grounds, making it a fantastic place to spend a day. In this post, I’m sharing my experience visiting, plus tips and lessons learned. I’ve also embedded a video chronicling my day at Dover Castle at the end of this post. Let’s dig in!

Every year, London Parks & Gardens Trust hosts a special event called the Open Garden Squares Weekend. During this weekend, you can buy a ticket and explore private gardens throughout the city. These gardens range from beautiful squares to office buildings and a few historic landmarks. As someone who loves parks and gardens, I could not resist the opportunity to peek into some of London’s hidden gardens. Here are the highlights from my day, plus tips on how to make the most of your Open Garden Squares Weekend!
