Dover is a coastal town in England’s southeastern county of Kent. It’s a major port for ferries to Calais, in France. Built to repel invasions from across the English Channel, medieval Dover Castle overlooks the town and houses the extensive Secret Wartime Tunnels. The iconic White Cliffs of Dover are Britains most iconic landmarks and the star of countless UK and Hollywood movies. Stunning as they are there is plenty more to Dover than just the cliffs. It is the nearest British town to France – a mere 90 minutes by boat. It is also filled with lots of fascinating places to visit allowing you to explore the Towns history. Its strategic position has been evident throughout its history: archaeological finds have revealed that the area has always been a focus for people entering and leaving Britain. The name of the town derives from the name of the river that flows through it, the River Dour.
