Dover is famous for its spectacular white cliffs, which rise majestically from the English Channel to welcome all Britons returning from Europe. However, Dover has a great deal more to offer visitors, including many miles of beautiful coastline, castles, and historic mansions as well as great outdoor activities.

History buffs can visit the Dover Transport Museum or the Dover Museum and Bronze Age Boat Gallery to learn about the early days or head to Deal Castle and Dover Castle to soak up the medieval atmosphere. There are several wonderful gardens to delight nature lovers, and the beaches offer fishing, boat charters (for fabulous photos of the famous White Cliffs), and various water sports.
