Dover

Dover is in the county of Kent, in south east England.

Dover, home to the famous White Cliffs, is small enough to be explored on foot relatively easily. It is around a 20 minute walk from the port. Dover Castle, which is over 2,000 years old is well worth a visit.

South Foreland lighthouse was bought by the National Trust in 1989, the building has been preserved and is open to visitors.

Samphire Hoe Country Park is situated 3km west of Dover. It was created by using chalk marl from the Channel Tunnel excavations. It is accessible via a single track tunnel controlled by traffic lights, which crosses over the Kent Coast railway line. Visitor facilities include car parking, toilets and a tea kiosk.

Other attractions include St Margaret's Bay beach and nearby Pine Gardens, Dover Transport Museum and Dover Museum.

London is also accessible from Dover via high speed train from Dover Priory Station or coach (from Pencester Road). There are also a number of car hire companies in Dover itself.

There are an abundance of restaurants to choose from, ranging from fast food to international options.

Dover has two main Cruise Terminals - Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Shuttles into Dover tend to operate when ships are in dock. Car parking is available.
