Dover has been called the ‘Lock and Key of England’. For centuries this town on the Kent coast has been the literal and symbolic gateway between Britain and Europe. 

Located just 21 miles from France, Dover's history is entwined with travel, trade, adventure and defence. For over 2,000 years Dover has welcomed visitors and fought invaders. 

This walk through the town to the coast offers an adventure full of surprising stories. We will see an ancient castle, a lost river and the iconic White Cliffs.
