I was so curious about The Underground Hospital. I was very disappointed. Honestly, it was running through the tunnel. I did not see the tools and feel the atmosphere of the hospital. I am a nurse and this part of my expedition this day was important to me. Unfortunately, I could not take any photos inside and couldn't know exactly the equipment of the underground hospital. I do not know for whom this part was opened. For guide or visitors. Running through the corridors was not interesting. . The Dynamo Corridor operation next door was conveyed more interesting although the history were shown in great length.

This cliff-top lookout post played an important role in both world wars.
Take a look at the recreated First World War Fire Command Post, spot
ships on the channel from Port War Signal Station and enjoy superb views
across the White Cliffs of Dover.
A hospital ward in the tunnels beneath Dover Castle. The construction
of tunnels underneath the white cliffs of Dover began during the Middle Ages. They were used as a command centre and military hospital during World War II.
Early in the Second World War, in late May 1940, the Allied forces of
British, French and Belgian troops were trapped by the invading German
army on the coast of France and Belgium, in the area around Dunkirk. The
desperate and near-miraculous rescue that followed – controlled from
Dover Castle – saved the Allied cause in Europe from total collapse, and
was the biggest evacuation in military history.
