castle grounds recent

Inside the grounds of the castle are a lighthouse from Roman times and a church from Saxon times, as well as the castle, which is Norman. There are three layers of tunnels dug into the white chalk cliffs by the castle that date from medieval times. The tunnels have also been used in more recent times - they were used in Napoleonic times when the English were expecting an attack from France and were also used in the Second World War. One of the levels is open to the public. These tunnels are the ones that were used in World War II as a communication center. It was from these tunnels that the evacuation from Dunkirk was directed by Admiral Ramsay.
