An image of the northern end of Tunnel 1 where it meets the Caponnier complex.
The ramp with handrail leads to the 2nd level of the Caponnier with rooms directly above the viewer and on the opposite side of the Caponnier.
Click to see the 2nd level balcony and Caponnier interior.
Through the arch on the lefthand side of the above image:
Turn right for the Ammunition Room/Gunpowder Store
Turn left for the Caponnier ground floor.
Tunnel 1 also contains a drawbridge, the 'Ghost Photo', and 'Blue Orb 1'
The North Center Bastion is part of Dover's "Hidden Fortress" built during the Napoleonic era.
Also see the Drop Redoubt, Grand Shaft, North Entrance - click on Western Heights and check the tags for an up-to-date list of locations.
