Magnificent sea-side ride! Far enough from cars, just a bit of a climb and exposed to wind, but well worth the view!

These sound mirrors were created in the late 1920s, the period between the two world wars. Although today they remind the walker passing by of a modern sculpture, they were not planned and built as works of art, but rather had a military background: the inward-curved surface was intended to capture the sounds coming from the sea - like a radio telescope - and thus provide early warning of surprise enemy aircraft attacks.

The old harbour is being infilled and reclaimed as part of Dover Docks regeneration. See photo's

Highly recommended for a snack and a souvenir.

On the left you see the castle and Ramsgate and on the right you see France.

From here you have a beautiful view of the gate.

@Rombea your posted pictures were taken at the castle and not at all at the place of the highlight.
