{{Hitchhiking Zine nomination}}
'''Dover''' is a busy port in East Kent, in the South of [[England]]. For hitchhikers this is one of if not the best possibility to cross the Channel. Because it is the closest port to continental Europe on mainland Britain with just 21 miles from the [[France|French]] port of [[Calais]], Dover is the busiest cross-Channel port in the [[United Kingdom|UK]], with 18 million passengers every year and thousands of lorrys each day. Regular ferry services operate from Dover to Calais (''P&O'' and ''Seafrance'') and [[Dunkerque]] (''norfolkline'').
From Dover there's the A2 that runs north to [[Canterbury]] and on to the M2, the A20 that follows the coast south to [[Folkestone]], and the A256 that heads north towards [[Ramsgate]], [[Broadstairs]] and [[Margate]].
