Hudson's Bastion is a large
fortification on the eastern side of Dover Castle, one of several
bastions and outworks on this side that provided firing bases and
sally ports with a measure of expendability - soldiers could withdraw
further into the castle if these were overcome by an enemy. The
surface entrance to the Bastion has been sealed and access is via
Hudson's Passage, a locked tunnel that leads from the castle grounds
to the moat. Connected to this fortification are, as well as the
Passage, Hudson's Gallery providing firing points across the North
East Ditch, Hudson's Caponniere and Hudson's Shaft which linked the
interior of the passage to a higher level of the Castle grounds.
