Location

Dover is a town of historical and strategic importance located on the east coast of Kent at the narrowest point along the English Channel between the UK and
mainland Europe. It is also one of the warmest and driest places in the UK adding to its attractiveness to tourists.

Dover is home to Europe's busiest ferry port, handling £144 billion of trade (33% of the UK's trade in goods and it has been transformed following the high-speed rail link (HS1) opening in 2007 offering travel times to London of just over 1 hour via Ashford, Ebbsfleet and Stratford.

In 2018 the St James's area was developed and then in 2019 the new 500 metre Pier to the west of the Harbour including the new marina was unveiled. In 2023 Dover secured £63 million from the Levelling Up Fund for both the Dover Beacon Project on Bench Street (£18.1 million) in the heart of Dover Town Centre and the Dover Access Improvements project (£45 million).

The town attracts 4.2m visitors every year which is driven by its historical heritage and its spectacular landscapes and coastline incorporating five internationally protected sites, two National Nature Reserves, Kent's only stretches of Heritage Coast, five SSSIs, two Marine Conservation Zones and the extensive chalk grasslands of the AONB.
