Very imposing to see these cliffs like this and I can imagine that this is a perfect place for defense. Is it known if this place played in role in the invasion of William the conqueror even though the castle had not been built at this time?

Your question is very interesting, I did some research, in fact, the place has played a not insignificant role. After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, the first place William the Conqueror stopped was the high ground above Dover harbor. Here he wanted to build a temporary castle (for the conquest of the rest of Britain and his base). I mean the origins of Dover Castle, in the Iron Age, go back to this temporary castle. Thanks for your comment so I also learned more!
That's very interesting. Thanks for checking 😀
