England attracts travellers from all over thanks to its rich history, culture and natural beauty. Dover ferry port acts as a gateway to the country. Once you arrive, you can't miss a trip to Dover Castle and the area's iconic White Cliffs. There's plenty of things to see and do elsewhere in England too. Whether you fancy exploring the historic Canterbury Cathedral or enjoying a beach break in Brighton, the list is endless. The vibrant capital of London, with its world-class attractions which include the British Museum and the Tower of London, is just a train ride away from Dover too.
