About Dover
Dover is the most popular port in England and the gateway to France for many British tourists. Dover faces the narrowest part of the channel, and on a clear day you can see France from the ferry port.
As the shortest channel crossing between England and France, Dover has been a popular port for people who wish to explore mainland Europe. The iconic chalk cliffs have become known as the White Cliffs of Dover and can be seen for miles across the channel. Dover prides itself in its transport services and tourism, and has 3 museums; the main Dover Museum, the Dover Transport Museum and the Roman Painted House.
The port's efficient operations, high traffic capacity, and proximity to major road networks, including the M20 and M2 motorways, further enhance its role as a key transport hub for the UK.

The control of passengers needs to be addressed, it is shocking how young unsupervised adults can just run riot disrupting everyone's trip and causing stress. I had to drive for a few hours when we arrived in Dover and I was so stressed from the crossing I had to sit in my car in a lay by for an hour just to compose myself to drive.
Great trip!
