Dover

Dover is a very beautiful city with plenty to see and discover. Visitors are given the opportunity to enjoy spectacular scenes at the white cliffs, or perhaps to explore the city’s history within Dover Castle. Dover city has a major ferry port and is located in the South East of England in Kent. Dover sits near the English Channel and faces France and opens up to the gateway to the rest of Europe. Here, the coastline is naturally very beautiful with turquoise shores, sandy and pebble beach’s extending for miles on end.  There is also a fairground within Dover Beach for families to enjoy a nice family day out.

   

      The White Cliffs of Dover are absolutely striking to look at. The cliff face extends up to 350 feet in height and is composed of a chalk substance with black flint. The White Cliffs of Dover are an important part of Britain’s heritage, a sign of the strength of the British nation and hold great historical value. Throughout history, the White Cliffs of Dover were known to form a protective barrier along the coast line of England standing guard against foreign invaders and enemies. On a clear day, one is able to see the cliffs of the French coast, Cap Gris Neza, a truly spectacular sight. Etched into the white cliffs is a pathway for perhaps the more active visitor to take a walk down the cliff’s face and enjoy a close up of the Cliff’s shoreline and experience the cliffs in a whole new dimension.

   

        There are plenty of affordable 5 star hotels and fine restaurants within Dover for visitors to enjoy, however I would recommend taking a visit to the Dover Cafe that sits at the top of the White Cliffs, the views here are breathtaking. You are able to enjoy an English cup of tea and cake in a calm and peaceful environment. Dover really appeals to a whole range of age groups with plenty of activities for everyone; the town has a truly friendly atmosphere with a real sense of community.

   

       After exploring the beautiful coast line and the White Cliffs why not take a tour around the medieval Dover Castle. Dover Castle dates back to the 12^th Century, and has been renovated throughout history. Currently, the magnificent castle puts on shows for visitors to get a true experience of history. Visitors can enjoy a great family day out exploring the dark Secret Wartime Tunnels, reliving moments from World War II, and enjoy fun ghost hunting activities.
