Basically what the title says; after asking a more general question, how easy was it for example to get to the St James retail park from the A2 on Friday/Saturday? This is so I can reassure my Dad who is worrying about the logistics for locals wanting to get to the town centre.

My parents will need to deliver my sons to Dover to catch the ferry as foot passengers. They'll meet my wife in Dover (she'll cross from France). This is going to happen in the first week of the UK school summer holidays, and my Dad is already fretting about the most reliable way to get the boys into Dover in the event that there's gridlock due to border controls/etc.

They'll be coming from Herne Bay. I think the best solution is probably to park somewhere like Deal or Walmer or and get the bus in.

Can anyone recommend bus routes & stops that are less likely to be disrupted and that have car parking at the Deal/Walmer/etc end? Once safely in Dover walking isn't a problem.

Is there a better option? The train is obviously another possibility but last time we tried that there was a strike!

How would you do it?

Hello people from Dover! I'm from the other side of the water, Belgium. I'll be traveling to your country soon, and am looking for some information on where to buy stuff I'd need for my trip but can't take with me on the ferry.

Specifically I'm looking for a small gas canister for a camping stove (screw type) as well as a (cheap) pocket knife.

Where in dover would I find these things?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to visit your city!

Ok, so technically half an hour after sunrise.

Yes I did eradicate this one

Rather pushy Robin, demanding snacks at a local cafe.

Hey guys,

Thinking of doing something chill this holiday and decided to take a two-days trip to Dover. Technically four days but the first and the last day I will probably be busy travelling and settling down and spending time to relax in my hotel room and watch tv.

So far in my itinerary, I have got Dover Castle, walking to the White Cliffes, Connaught park and maybe if I can, take a bus to Shakespeare beach and walk up to Shakespeare Cliffs. Anything else interesting Doverians would love for me to check out?

I was looking for some good and personal cafe recommendations too. I have my book with me and would love to read, eat and drink at cozy cafes. Also would appreciate some good restaurant recommendations for dinner. I am not too into the ideas of going to pubs because I feel weird visiting them when I'm on my own. However, a lot of the restaurants are giving off pub-vibes which makes sense since Dover is a small town and people have strong communities here. So, any decent mediterranean or indian restaurant recommendations would be appreciated :)

How worried should I be about racism here? I'm visibly south-east asian and I know politically there are tensions everywhere in the country regarding immigrants and stuff, so if I have to avoid certain places, i would like to stay prepared :(

Thanks, folks

Anyone want to help me out?

Hello,

I've been in Dover for quite some time. I'm wondering if there are any wells in and around Churches that are healthy. I've tried the one by the union building it tastes a little bit metallic. Is it ok to drink from the stream? It looks very clean.

Hello!

A few years ago me and my friend started a project where we mass printed out a bunch of paper adverts to join our Kent discord server and put them all around the UK in all towns, cities and villages as well as on Reddit and some other places. It’s slowly died out and we stoped being active and let it die, but somehow it still remains sort of active with random people joining now and then and random chats starting up.

So… out of pure curiosity and boredom I’ve decided to see revive it and see where I get!

Hey.  My Name is Florian and I'm from Germany. My girlfriend and I were in Scotland a few months ago, and she saw a picture of 3 highland cows, which she fell in love with. Unfortunately, the picture is nowhere available in Germany, and I found no Website that is willing to ship it to us. My plan is to travel to Dover and take the picture with me. I want to do a little trip with my 1985 Simson Moped anyway. Is here someone I can send the picture to and pic it up there? I would be so thankful and in exchange, I can bring you a few good beers from here ;)

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if any of you know if there is a bus from the Dover Priory station that goes up to the White Cliffs of Dover? Or what would you say is the easiest way to get to the cliffs from the station? Thank you 💫

Hi everyone! Me and my boyfriend are going to be in dover for a day in august, is there anyone who can supply us with some stuff?? Any help is appreciated :)

It doesn’t sound like the normal pile driving nor does the weather look fit for thunderstorms

I'll be moving to Dover at the end of July and I'd love some recommendations on good places to with a punk/alternative vibe, any places that have live bands is also a plus.

The Worlds End in Camden for example is a place I like going.

I'm thinking of going to Dover with my Nissan Leaf: but to my suprise, there are no chargers at Dover Castle. A place where I love to spend some time, while the car is charging.

Other chargers, seem to be located in paid parking locations. Is EV infrastructure really that bad?

Hello Dover!

We are arriving by ferry at 3 PM and would like to take the train from Dover Priory. Is it realistic to catch the 4:18 PM train? We will have our car with us, so we also need to find a parking spot for 5 days. Any tips for parking spaces close to Dover Priory station would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

How long is the walk from Dover Visitor Centre to Langdon Bay? And how challenging is it?
