Few towns have a backdrop like Dover's. The castle sits high on the cliffs, the harbour is busy with ferries to Calais and Dunkirk, and the seafront looks straight out across the Channel.
That makes it a good fit for logistics, transport and cross-Channel businesses, which have strong links here, and for any event that wants a sense of place. It's also practical: the high-speed line reaches London in around an hour, and the A2 and A20 bring drivers in from Canterbury and the M20.
| How | Details |
|---|---|
| By train | Dover Priory: high-speed trains to London St Pancras in about an hour |
| By road | The A2 links Dover with Canterbury and the M2. The A20 runs to Folkestone, where it meets the M20 |
| Parking | Check parking with each venue. The seafront and town centre have public car parks |
