The Moats of Dead Man's Island in Winter, Western Heights, Dover, UK

Slideshow: A walk around the snow-covered floor of the moats connecting the North Centre Bastion, Detached Bastion, and North Entrance of the Napoleonic and Victorian defence system embedded into the Western Heights above the town of Dover, Kent, UK.

The photos were taken on Thursday, February 11th, 2010, and the only footsteps you see are mine :)

Thanks, Paul :)

Its pleasant to walk around that part of the Western Heights moats at any time of the year, but its really special after a snowfall - and even a little more so because the only footprints in the video are mine.

Dover only had two snowfalls this year, hopes are fading, but my fingers are crossed for just one more!

A cheap and cheerful slideshow of snow-covered moats on part of Dover's Western Heights Napoleonic and Victorian defence system.

The audio seems a bit quiet - I'll change it for a better version, sometime.
