Advantages: gateway to europe

Disadvantages: none

Dover is England's main gateway to the continent as well as a crucial point in it's defence against invasion. It lies at the mouth of the Dour and stretches up the valley which interrupts the line of the famous White Cliffs Of Dover, which is fortified by Dover Castle. The train-ferry service leaves Marine Station and goes to Ostend, Calais, and Dunkerque, and the jetfoil goes to Ostend. If you go onto Admiralty Pier, which houses the Marine Station and goes out to sea for 1'300 yards you will get some really good views of the harbours and dockland areas. They have a museum next to the Town Hall which contains local history, displays, and changing exhibitions. It is only a small place but very interesting if you like sea-ports and fine views, especially from The White Cliffs Of Dover then it is an ideal place
