Western Heights is a suburban area located on elevated ground immediately to the west of Dover town centre and its port, within the district of Kent in South East England. This prominent high ground is particularly known for its extensive Napoleonic-era fortifications, which are a significant historical landmark and a scheduled monument, including the distinctive Grand Shaft. Alongside residential properties, these defensive structures offer panoramic views across Dover, its busy harbour, and the English Channel. The area's context is deeply intertwined with Dover's strategic importance as a port and defensive location.
