An Ancient Port of Call

Dover is famous for the white cliffs which would have been a striking sight to the Romans as they advanced on England. They decided to construct a port at this strategic spot and it has held an important role ever since. Ferries to Calais and Dunkirk cross the English Channel several times daily and some brave souls even manage to swim across.

A Roman lighthouse still stands atop a hill overlooking the port, but is easily missed as it was incorporated into Saxon St Mary de Castro Church as the bellower. It is found within the grounds of 13th-century Dover Castle, one of England’s largest castles, whose multi-level ramparts sit above tunnels where the World War II Dunkirk evacuation was planned.

Another Roman monument is the Painted House whose remains include some of the best-preserved Roman murals north of Italy. Even older is the Bronze Age boat displayed in Dover Museum.

The Dover Transport Museum showcases vintage vehicles, and the Blériot Memorial marks the spot where the first airplane to fly across the Channel first touched English soil. A path runs along the top of the nearby cliffs, while at their feet is a shingle beach.

The Dover accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with pools, cheap inns and B&Bs near the train station.

    Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list. The walk along the cliffs is great and the Dover castle is well maintained and very interesting. Parking in Dover is as per all UK towns a problem and you need to plan accordingly or you can use the local bus services.

    We spent a day and a half in Dover and came specifically to see the historical Fan Bay Shafts (National Trust) and Dover Castle (English Heritage). We found Fan Bay Shafts interesting and very 'genuine' history. Note that it is 45 minutes underground in damp, but not cold, tunnels, wearing a hard hat and head torch. Dover Castle warrants a whole day or more! Lots to see. We had time to see Deal Castle too. Good as a contrast, as it is a Tudor fortification. They have tried hard with their pretty good first floor exhibition, but the basement is an underused and under-explained resource which could be much more imaginatively tackled.

    Dover needs significant regeneration: the town is tired and not appealing. I have known Dover since 1965 and to be honest it is probably now at its worst, but I can see some small signs of improvement: however everything being demolished is becoming a car park!! Dover needs to look like Folkestone or Deal: more independent and unique shops to attract people. Not the standard chains stores and "cheap shops", which of course have their place but different shops attract curiosity. The castle remains the main attraction, as does western heights and Dover Patrol memorial. Kirsney Abbey and Russell Gardens provide a tranquil side. the ride through Alkham Valley, always puts a smile on my face.

    Dover is a very busy port town but also a town full of interesting history. We loved walking out along the pier, watching the ferries come in & go out, we enjoyed visiting Dover Castle very much, it is well worth putting a day aside to visit the castle and we found the town centre to contain everything we needed for our visit; minimart, chemist, shoe shop, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops. It’s small enough to walk everywhere & plenty to do. There’s a great walk along the famous white cliffs which we ran out of time to do but we’d like to come back one day & see more of this great town. In all, Dover is a bit rough around the edges but a very interesting town to visit, especially if you like boats, the seaside & history.

    Plenty to do in Dover and with travel issues (traffic and train strikes) well worth reducing the stress and planning a day in Dover. Premier Inn offered (online reservation) for Bag stashers. Local museum has amazing Bronze age boat! Dover castle has so many different historic periods covered - Roman lighthouse, Plantagenet castle and World war II hospital / headquarters - allow plenty of time.

    Dover is really undergoing a regeneration process, the beach are is very popular and the marina is just lovely. The town itself is very run down indeed and we avoided it this time. We did spend a lot of time walking on the beach and enjoying the lovely atmosphere.

    Bev and Michael were very welcoming hosts! We really appreciated all of the food recommendations and top tips on the local attractions. The breakfast was absultely amazing and they accommodated so kindly for our varying dietary needs. The location was great. Walkable distance from town center, train stations, Dover castle, and White Cliffs of Dover for my partner and eye! The room was so cute and well put together! If we ever find ourselves in Dover again, I would love to stay with Bev adn Michael!

    We stayed here for one night, and had a really lovely room, and a very comfortable stay. The owner welcomed us warmly and gave us useful tips for reaching the cliffs and for visiting the castle of Dover. Everything spotlessly clean, nice bathroom, bed and pillows were so comfortable. Great location, friendly staff and well maintained hotel, perfect accommodation for a very good price. We'll definitely stay again when we are in the area!

    Lovely owner and staff who couldn't do enough to help, especially when they saw my foot injury. Lovely spacious family room which was very quiet and comfortable, right next to the best possible pub - the oldest in Dover which was recommended to us. Do go to the White Horse Inn for wonderful ambience, excellent staff and great food. Situated in a very nice area of Dover, not far from public transport and the Castle.

    Hotel is across the street from the train station. Took the train from London St Pancreas station. After checking in, we walked into small Dover town for dinner and found a grocery store to buy wine for the cruise. Next morning we walked to cruise, port a mile in 30 minutes, but we have light luggage. Always recommend you book a hotel the night before you cruise within walking distance of port.

    This place was so much more than my wife and I could ever have imagined. We loved the location, just being down the hill from Dover castle and just a little ways from the beaches. We loved the room, it was picture perfect! Our host gave amazing recommendations and the breakfast was to die for. We will be recommending this place to everyone that we know will be in the area and we hope to be back soon.

    John the concierge was great. He made sure our stay was comfortable and gave us lots of tips and stories to help us explore Dover and its surrounding areas. The room was clean, quiet, spacious, and had all the amenities one would need. The Guest house is situated in a central location which makes it easy to visit the beach, the museums, town centre, and train station to explore nearby locations.

    we absolutely loved the room. So clean and bright. First we loved how comfortable beds but the next day we all had back pains. I believe they dont support that well. The table and chairs ere great and breakfast tray. Really nice accomodation but Dover seemed a little forgotten unfortunately. A little sad considering the tourist attraction of the castle and the harbour.

    The hotel is well situated for easy access to Dover. It was very quiet and the rooms were comfortable. We had breakfast which was delicious and served by a friendly and helpful chef who offered to cook eggs to order. They seemed to go out of their way to help people with specific dietary requirements. It was well served with a bar, snacks, coffee and a Bella Italia.

    The apartment was very nice and cosy and we felt very comfortable. The location was perfect for us, just a few minutes from Dover and Deal. We were travelling with our dog and there was a great opportunity to go for a walk in the immediate neighbourhood. Jo and his wife were incredibly nice and helpful hosts. We would book the accommodation directly again.

    The little room off the kitchen is really nice. Their patience with us was great. We came on the ferry from Calais that was late getting into Dover and the hostel’s door takes a code they give you as well as a coded door receptacle to get in your room. With these codes you don’t need to see the staff, if you come after hours.

    Room with a view had all the facilities we needed and was very good. That included free parking around the back. As sea views go it's Dover, so you're partly looking at a port, but it's still a pretty nice view. The restaurant was pretty good too.
