Discovering Dover
Dover, England, was one of the places we visited during the three weeks of studying abroad in England last summer. Dover is a port town located in southeastern England and faces France on the English Channel. Dover Castle has served as a fortress for over nine centuries. Most recently, the castle played an important role during the evacuation of Dunkirk in World War Two to rescue thousands of Allied troops. Our group had the opportunity to experience a visual reenactment of the events that took place during the War in one of three underground tunnel levels of the castle. One of the most famous parts of Dover, which we were also able to see, are the White Cliffs located along the beach. The white color is a result of its chalky composition and can be seen across the Strait of Dover from the beaches of France on a clear day.
