What to see in Dover
Must-sees
Dover is England’s gateway from the continent. Its White Cliffs, visible from France on clear days, can be walked along a path with views over the English Channel. Above the town rises Dover Castle, a huge medieval fortress with a Roman lighthouse and secret Second World War tunnels.
Below, the port is the one for ferries to Calais and Dunkirk. Nearby are South Foreland Lighthouse and the towns of Deal and Sandwich.
Free tours and guided visits
Dover has visits to the castle and its tunnels. From London there are day trips combining the cliffs with Canterbury and Leeds Castle.
How long to spend
Half a day is enough for the castle, and another half to walk along the cliffs. It is a good stop before or after the ferry.
Where to stay
Near the port there are practical hotels for the ferry. On the cliffs and in St Margaret’s at Cliffe, quiet places to stay with views.
