About Dover

Dover anchors England's southeast corner where ferries cross to France in 90 minutes. The M20 runs straight here from London via Ashford, whilst the A2 provides an alternative route through Canterbury. Local drivers use the A258 coast road to Deal or the A260 inland to Canterbury. The port operates continuously with over 70 fast EV chargers nearby. Dover Castle's wartime tunnels housed Churchill's Dunkirk operations centre.
