The town of Dover is located in the county of Kent, in southeast England. It is a major port city and there is a regular ferry service to France from here, which is just located across the channel facing Dover. The town of Dover may not be the biggest city in England but there is so much to see and discover here. The world famous chalk cliffs surrounding the town are of course the “White Cliffs of Dover”, made famous by several artists, including William Shakespeare in King Lear.
The town has been inhabited since the stone age and many archaeological finds have shown that Dover has forever been a point for people coming to and leaving England. Dover is a wonderful tourist town to visit, so if you’re looking to make the trip, you’ll need a good place to stay whilst there. Check out these top 10 Airbnbs in Dover.
