My first encounter with the Drop Redoubt was whilst it was still an overgrown mass of bushes and small trees, with the moats being very difficult to navigate due to the flora. It's really pleasing to see that it is now recognised for the importance it holds as part of Dover's and indeed the country's historiacl past, and that it is being cared for and maintained. I do believe it is open to the public on a limited number of days, with guided tours to show people around, which is how it should be with these old monumnets.
Great tour! Thanks guys!
Ian: So the buckets would have been for water, sand?
Chris: Fire 🤣 4:53
I lived in a house close to North Military Road during the 60s. These fortifications were our playground. Many underground workings that are no longer accessible. And tunnels collapsed or too dangerous to enter. Great that you are getting the history out to the people.
Awesome drone work and production/editing Ian 👌🏻
Truly Amazing Thanks Ian and Chris
Awesome Video Guys, As Junior Leaders from Old Park Barracks we used to do Map Appreciation up on the Western Heights, saw some of the fortifications from above at the time, would love to go and see these places in Detail, Thanks for showing this, so very interesting, Cheers.
I was there last week, awesome location. Even though we could only walk around the outside. Shame the grand shaft is now closed as well. At least it protects it from vandalism. Not enough is done in Dover to protect the lesser known Napoleonic era buildings.
Great explore as always chaps.
Love your Dover explores, I haven’t managed to get down there for a few years.
I found a new way in the other day, love it here.
Hi IKS, nice video, interesting to see Chris on camera for parts of the video, it gave a different view I’m not used to. The floor looked a bit dodgy
AWWWW M8s GOOD THING KATS THERE YOU'D GET LOST😆🤣😆 GREAT LOCATION AND HISTORY TOO FOLKS 👌 INDEED 👌
the powder magazine would have had an un-nailed wooden floor or been coated in tar, to prevent sparks from hobnailed boots
Wow ! 😲 greetings from Finland
I’d love to explore this.💯
I visited there in 1990. There was a scaffold bridge and razor wire to keep people out.. That stuff is sharp..
I have video of that scaffolding bridge from the 90s my dad took was amazing to see again.
I twisted my ankle there on school trip in the 90s western heights no joke
i have this compulsion to watch sharpe after watching this.
I live in dover, I have been everywhere, it's amazing views here
Cool video friend very interesting 🤔please keep the great videos coming and please stay safe friend
i haven't been to the western heights in over 20 years
interesting and enjoyful for me
Just a thought. You could put a IKS water mark on your vids to stop ppl copying your drone footage. Etc.
Would the door at 10mins have been added in WW2?
I reckon so
Are you going to milatrary odyssey
We did on the Sunday folk
Better than the BBC

Number 5 thanks
Perfect simple as that.
This is/was a star fort. I pray we know the truth someday.
Nothing to do with Star Wars folk

Stolen valour
Bull, he specifically says he didn’t serve, he’s wearing it out of respect for the rifle regiment.make sure you’re not wrong before you make accusations like that. It’s too important a matter to just toss that around like any other insult.
@@kadoj I’m aware mate it was a joke 🙄
@@troyke3 ah okay sorry, my mistake.
