Dover

Administrative Port: Hastings

County: Kent

Population: 28156

Dover is a town and major ferry port in the county of Kent, in South East England. It faces France across the narrowest part of the English Channel. The surrounding chalk cliffs have become known as the White Cliffs of Dover, and the narrow sea passage nearby – the Strait of Dover. Although many of the former ferry services have declined, services related to the Port of Dover provide a great deal of the town’s employment, as does tourism.
