Established across the narrowest part of the English Channel, Dover has long served as a gateway between the United Kingdom and Continental Europe. From its early beginnings as the fortified Roman port "Portus Dubris", to its prominence in crucial World War II operations, the town’s compelling past permeates every corner. Significant archaeological findings in the area reveal that Dover’s appeal reaches far back to the Stone Age and Iron Age societies.

Not just a historical gem, Dover is a thriving contemporary town bolstered by the bustling Port of Dover and tourism to its iconic White Cliffs. The town has morphed over recent times with modern developments, including efficient high-speed rail links to London, new shopping areas and a revamped beachfront. The Port of Dover, the busiest shipping lane in the world, and Dover's variety of shopping streets are among the town's main employment sources, along with tourism.

Serving as an epicentre for travellers, Dover offers several transport options, including local buses, National Express Coaches, and the convenient Dover to Dunkirk ferry route. The town’s infrastructure also supports further education with its grammar and non-selective schools, the Dover College, and a technical college, making it a place of life-long learning.
