| Dover can be found on the south-east of England.
Handling around £80 billion of trade each year and supporting approximately 22,000 jobs locally, the Port is vital to both the national and local economies.
The Port is committed to the very best practice and protection of the environment.
History documents that the Dover Port can be traced back to Roman times. The deep cleft in the hills formed in prehistoric times by the River Dour, has always given protection to the small ships plying across the Strait.
The "Haven between the Hills" and evidence that the Romans used the port exists to-day in the form of the "Pharos", or lighthouse, on the cliffs on the east side of the valley.
Royalty such as Richard Coeur de Lion departed from Dover on the Third Crusade and, in 1422, Henry V was brought back through Dover after his death in France. |
