Accessibility

According to Google:

"Accessibility in Dover varies significantly by location; the National Trust's White Cliffs of Dover has a wheelchair-friendly path and accessible visitor facilities, but most other paths are uneven. Dover Castle offers some accessible routes with a land train and mobility scooters, though some areas, like the Great Tower, are not fully accessible. For transport, use the Accessible Travel taxi database for wheelchair-accessible taxis and check with South Eastern or Stagecoach for accessible train and bus information."
