Begun during the Napoleonic Wars and completed in the 1860s, the vast defences of Western Heights were designed to protect Dover from French invasion. Now, they're focus of a project led by English Heritage, made possible with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund as well as local partners and communities, which aims to restore 80 hectares of rare chalk grassland: Reaching Greater Heights. Along the way, it will uncover ancient earthworks, protect rare wildlife and create new opportunities for people to connect with nature and heritage.

Join us during Heritage Open Days to find out more, and get hands-on with the Conservation in Action van at St Martin's Battery, where you can learn how English Heritage cares for the vast range of historic places in its care.

Audley End is celebrated for its magnificence: beautifully furnished rooms and fine objects, carefully arranged and presented for visitors. Yet above these showpiece interiors lies another, lesser-known world.

Running from May to November 2026, Behind Closed Doors is a new exhibition that offers a rare glimpse into the hidden second-floor rooms, long closed to the public. Once guest bedrooms and servants’ quarters, they now function as store rooms, revealing a quieter side of life within the house.

Through the photographs of Lachlan French and Clive Downes, these interiors evoke a faded splendour, carefully preserved as if a moment frozen in time.

In contrast to the rooms below, they offer a more subtle beauty, shaped by memory, atmosphere, and the traces of lives once lived behind closed doors.

This event is included with general admission. Book in advance to save 15%. Members go free.
