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.

    We stayed two nights in Dover. The staff are very friendly, helpful with any information regarding the area and sightseeing. We are a small family with a baby and the hotel staff went the extra mile to meet our every need making our stay stress free and enjoyable. The hotel is clean, and in a good location if you want to visit Dover Beach, Dover Castle and the White Cliffs of Dover. We went to see the White Cliffs, it was only a 20min drive and an amazing experience. I will definitely visit again in the future!

    Pandora helped us when we changed our dates when booking via e mail. When our luggage was left in Houston and they said they would deliver Pandora, our host made sure she was available so we could get out and see Dover. Plan on staying here again. Breakfast was delicious with little touches, our Grandson said it was the best hot chocolate and his favourite place. Loved the pool and the Summer house. Such a welcoming host. Thank you Pandora for making us feel so welcome.

    Very nice place with a great view over Dover. Very quiet thanks to its situation far from the centre and the main road. Very nice welcoming by Margaret and her husband who kindly proposed me to carry my suitcase into my room as there are steep stairs to get there. Lovely breakfast. Very cosy, clean and quiet room and entrance locked with security code. Nice little private car park below the hotel.

    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 had a nice stay at the Royal Oak. Room was cosy, bed very comfortable and breakfast more than allright. Good decision to sleep there after arriving in England late with the ferry. Next day we could start refreshed on our road trip through the Kingdom. Dover is also nice, unfortunately there was no time left for a walk to the beautiful castle on the cliff.

    Nice little Guesthouse in Dover England. The owners and their family are super nice and friendly. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was exceptional. They even arranged for a town car to get us to our Cruise Ship. The traditional British Breakfast was outstanding and even though it was extra it was well worth it and not that expensive.

    The generous hospitality of Michael and Andrullia was the highlight of our stay. Get Michael to bring out his guitar and regale you with his talent. We were impressed. The delicious breakfast dished out kept us going through the climb to the 'White cliffs' and onward to the Dover castle.Truly amazing! Overall a '10'.Nothing less.

    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 was simple but comfortable. We arrived late because of traffic issues so we didn't get to see much of the town around the hotel. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Parking was nice since it was just in front of the hotel. Very close to Dover castle which we ended up visiting.

    The property is in great location for Dover ferry port and is a much better price than any other hotel/hostel in the area. As we were only staying for about 12 hours we weren’t prepared to pay the ridiculous costs of some of the other places.
