It's like a history amusement park, with multiple areas to explore, from the medieval tunnels to the WW2 bunkers. We spent like 5 hours there and then had a picnic lunch on the grounds.

Train takes ~90 minutes from St Pancras to Dover Priory station. Probably easiest to take a taxi up to the castle from the station but you can also walk it.
