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.

Great service
My 2pm ferry was cancelled on the day, but we were informed and transferred to Dover to Calais at no extra cost so only 40 minutes delay, but well taken care off
Staff need to be kind and caring. Walking down the passageway and we had to give way to staff coming 2 a breast.
