 | Dover's 'Other Castle': The Court's Folly In the early 1800s two brothers, Stephen and Rogers Court of Snargate Street, Dover, built a folly in the shape of a miniature castle on the Western Heights cliffs. For much of its history the miniature castle has been neglected. The ruins are now hidden behind trees and access is 'very difficult'.
