Dover Holidays

Holidays in the UK have never been so popular, and no wonder, with wonderful destinations like Dover in Kent to visit. A Dover holiday is, of course, ideal for a look at the famous white cliffs, but there's much more going on. On your UK holiday to this part of Kent, take a trip to Deal Castle, one of England's finest artillery works, which once carried 119 guns. Or how about Dover Castle, with two centuries of history and the newly developed Great Tower? Take a tour, or explore the secret wartime tunnels below the white cliffs. Up above, a trip to South Foreland Lighthouse on your Kent holiday is a must, with the view from the balcony a particular favourite – a 360-degree sweep across the Kent coast and the English Channel.

UK holidays in Dover also include great wartime tributes, such as the Battle of Britain memorial statue of a stone pilot in Folkestone contemplating the bravery and sacrifice of his comrades. If you fancy some contemplation of your own on your Dover holiday, how about Connaught Park, just next to Dover Castle? Connaught Park is a graceful sweep of tranquil gardens offering a perfect picnic spot. Meanwhile, Crabble Corn Mill in Dover, is also worth a look on your holiday. It's a Georgian water mill regarded as Europe's premier working mill. Have a cuppa in the riverside tearoom and munch on meals made with flour baked on the premises. But back to history – you're never far from it in this part of Kent – and Deal Maritime and Local History Museum chronicles centuries of lifeboats and lifesaving.
