Dover Area Guide

Dover is located in Kent on England's south-east coast, it is surrounded on three sides by sea and is backed by its famous White Cliffs. Dover is the UK's closest geographical point to Continental Europe with cross channel ferries running every day of the year to Calais and Dunkirk in France and Ostend in Belgium.

You can visit fairy tale castles or an imposing fortresses by the sea, explore a Roman House or see a real Bronze Age boat in a high-tech gallery.

For a different way to view Dover, why not sail around the harbour on a boat tour, get a bird's eye view from an open top bus, or travel back in time on an historic railway.

Dover is also a busy port for cruise shipping and very popular among pleasure boat owners.
