This exploded view of the tower keep of the castle at Dover shows the separate floors. Detailed diagrams of each floor can be found on the next page but here you can see that the layout of the floors is more complex than those at Hedingham. Hedingham Castle has just one main room or hall on each floor whereas Dover Castle has two with a central dividing wall between them. This makes the castle at Dover much stronger.

Because of the extra complexity of the layout Dover Castle has two staircases. One of these staircases is very wide making it easier for people to pass going up and down.
