Dover

Dover is the closest British port to mainland Europe, facing France on the narrowest part of the English Channel.

Naturally, the old garrison town has an incredible maritime heritage – from a Bronze Age boat in the Dover museum to the world’s oldest sea-going vessel. Dover is home to Europe’s busiest port and the UK’s second busiest cruise port.

Key to its success is its ability to handle vast volumes of cross-channel traffic, cargo goods and people, past Britain’s iconic white cliffs. It has always been a hive for small scale industry, using the River Dour to power mills, foundries and breweries from the 1840s.

Since the 2000s, Dover’s education and hospitality industries, health and social work has positively thrived. Not only did the 65 acre White Cliff Business Park enjoy a £100million cash injection, but the Whitefield Development promises major urban expansion – including 5,750 new homes with infrastructure like pubs, cafes and community facilities.

Fortunately, there are plenty of skilled local tradesmen on hand to service Dover.

From security services in Aycliffee and electricians in Whitfield to pest control in East Langdon, find the local tradesmen you need in our Dover directory.

Looking after your dog is a huge responsibility, it can be tough to trust someone else with your beloved pet. But sometimes a stay in a caring local dog kennel is in their best interest.

Daily walks, outdoor runs, and a snooze in escape-proof boarding kennels, certainly beat a long journey which is stressful for both of you. Dog kennels typically provide dry biscuits and bedding, their dog care professionals monitor your hound around the clock and follow your instructions, to meet your pooch's every need.
