Historic Dover makes a great day trip from London. With the Medieval Dover Castle, beautiful white cliffs, and ferries from England to France, many people visiting the UK make a trip to Dover to see the sights.

Getting from London to Dover is best done by train. Once there, make sure to visit Dover Castle. Don't miss the tour of the World War II caves at the castle; tours book up early, so make your appointment in advance. Aside from the castle, Dover is best known for its White Cliffs. The cliffs can be viewed from the sea on a boat tour, or from the land by the port.
