 Dover
|
|
 Dover,
overlooking the English Channel and the UK's nearest European
neighbour France, Dover is a busy port with ferry services to
Europe.
 Very
much a working town, yet with centuries of heritage, once
being the Roman walled city of Dubris. The town is
still making its make on English history as the white cliffs
remain forever a symbol of England seen by those departing
and those arriving.
One of Henry VIII's Cinque Ports, part of his 'you can raise
taxes in exchange for giving me ships' deal.
St Mary de Castro Church, Saxon, is worth a look at, and
the Town Hall incorporates the 13th century Hall of Maison
Dieu. In North Fall Meadow a monument to Louis Beriot can
be seen, he flew across the channel in 1909. That was one
of many Dover to Calais crossings by any means possible including
rafts, swimming, barrels, basically any method will do as
long as you get in the record books!
