Dover

Dover is a port town in Kent, South East England. The town is the closest port to mainland Europe, just 21 miles from France at Calais. The town is famed for its white cliffs, as well as Dover Castle, which features a Roman lighthouse, Saxon church as well as a network of tunnels underground.

Mainline train services operated by Southeastern arrive at Dover from towns and cities including London. If you are visiting the town, you are likely to be catching a boat from one of the busiest ports in the United Kingdom. The Port of Dover operates services to Calais, Dunkirk and Ostend.

Dover is a relatively small town, and therefore can be explored easily on foot. Bus services operated by Stagecoach East Kent are also available, offering services within Dover but also to neighbouring towns like Folkestone and Canterbury.
