Welcome to Dover

Dover is a town located in the county of Kent, England. It is situated on the south-east coast of England and is known for its iconic white cliffs. The town has a rich history dating back to the Roman times and has been an important port for centuries. Today, Dover is a bustling town with a population of over 30,000 people.

One of the main attractions in Dover is the Dover Castle. The castle was built in the 12th century and has played a significant role in the history of England. It was used as a military fortress during World War II and was also the site of the Dunkirk evacuation. Visitors can explore the castle and its grounds, which include a medieval keep, a Roman lighthouse, and a network of tunnels used during the war.

Another popular attraction in Dover is the White Cliffs. The cliffs are made of chalk and stretch for over 10 miles along the coast. They are a symbol of England and have been featured in many works of literature and art. Visitors can take a walk along the cliffs and enjoy the stunning views of the English Channel. The cliffs are also home to a variety of wildlife, including seabirds and butterflies.
