Many people stay in Hotels in Dover Kent, this cam be fopr many reasons indeed. Dover is renowned for the White Cliffs of Dover or Whitecliffsofdover or whitecliffs of dover I think the first is the right speklkling. Many stay there, amybe seeing France, or maybe staying there before settiong off for Frnace, or coming from Ferance. In the past staying in hotels here before gpoing abroad would maybe be more common, now the Channel Tunnel, and ferries are quicker. Maybe smugglers would have stayed here too. Dover is a town and major ferry port in the county of Kent, in South East England. It faces France across the narrowest part of the English Channel. The town is the administrative centre of the Dover District. Its strategic position has always been evident throughout its history: archaeological finds have revealed that the area has always been a focus for peoples entering and leaving Britain, which continues to this day. Services related to the Port of Dover provide a great deal of the town’s employment, although many of the former ferry services have declined, meaning that unemployment tends to be higher than other parts of Kent There was a military barracks in Dover, which was closed in 2007. Dover has a strong tourist base.

The town gives its name both to the surrounding chalk cliffs, which a form a gateway to the port; and to the narrow sea passage - the Strait of Dover - on which it stands The cliffs also gave Britain its ancient name of Albion ("white"). One measure of the importance of Dover's links with France is that only a few English towns/cities have names in French different from their English names: these are Dover (Douvres), London (Londres), Cornwall (Cornouailles) and Canterbury (Cantorbéry). There are many hotels in Dover, soem for people staying here from other parts of Briotainm, maybe visitinf pals. It has a heritage, of millitary tradition, and others. What a fibne place to visit.

Dover’s name originated with its river - the River Dour, deriving from the Brythonic Dubra-s ("the waters"), via its Latinized form of Dubris. The Romans called it ’’Porte Dubris’’; the modern name was in use at least by the time Shakespeare wrote 'King Lear' (between 1603 and 1606), in which the town and its cliffs play a prominent role.

Some may want to stay in a romantic hotel in Dover Kent, Clark Kent, and Lois Lane maybe, no seriously, maybe a rom,antic serink, with the woman you love, on a date. In 1800 Edward Hasted (1732-1812) reported that the town had a population of almost 10,000 people At the 2001 census, the town of Dover had 28,156 inhabitants, while the population of the whole urban area of Dover, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics, was 39,078 inhabitants. With the expansion of Dover, many of the outlying ancient villages have been incorporated into the town. Originally the parishes of Dover St. Mary's and Dover St. James, since 1836 Buckland and Charlton have become part Dover, and Maxton (a hamlet to the west), River, Kearsney, Temple Ewell, and Whitfield, all to the north of the town centre, are within its conurbation. The Dover Harbour Board[5] is the responsible authority for the running of the Port of Dover.
The English Channel, here at its narrowest point in the Straits of Dover, is the busiest shipping lane in the world. Ferries crossing between here and the Continent have to negotiate their way through the constant stream of shipping crossing their path. The Dover Strait Traffic Separation Scheme allots ships separate lanes when passing through the Strait. The Scheme is controlled by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency of HM Customs, whose headquarters is at Langdon Battery in Dover
The Port of Dover is also used by cruise ship passengers, and the old Dover Marine railway station building, together with a newly built one , cater for those passengers
The ferry lines using the port are (number of daily sailings in parentheses):
* to Boulogne: LD Lines (4)
* to Dieppe LD Lines (2)
* to Calais: P&O
Ferries (25) and Sea France (20);
* to Dunkerque: Norfolk Line (11). So many
reasons to stay in hotels in Dover, maybe you could saty if the ferry was stuck.
