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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Perfect location, quiet and clean hotel. Easy to park. John, the Concierge, is who really makes the difference among other hotels. He was so helpful and gave us the best advices to visit Dover. There were many places to visit, some of them we missed because we were just one day in Dover, so we'll come back at some point and for sure we'll choose again St Martins Guest House.

    Nice little place. Our room looked out over neighbors gardens as well as a great view of Dover Castle. Owner was superior! Kind lady that was always there to greet you and offer any help she could. Location was great. We were able to walk up to Castle by nearby footpath. Also close to market and restaurants. Just a block away from bus stop to take us to Canterbury.

    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.

    The location of this hotel was perfect for our needs - visiting Dover Castle. Friendly welcome from the reception team. The in house restaurant, Mr White's English Chophouse, was a lovely experience. The set dinner menu was very good value and the team working last Friday evening were very friendly and attentive, without being over powering.

    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.

    Friendly staff, wonderfull service, great place to stay. We took the option to add breakfast at the location. Breakfast was excellent. This is not a hotel. It is a Guesthouse. It became our home away from home for two days. We will stay here the next visit to Dover. Thanks to the owners for the wonderfull service

    Great location in town! Short walk from the train station and Dover Castle. Margaret is a gem. She made us feel so welcome, and provided great tips on things to do in the area. The room was clean and we enjoyed the fresh milk provided. Margaret's garden is beautiful and we enjoyed it in the evenings and morning.
