To the person who called Dover a Trampy Town with nothing to do....I've lived in Dover for 63 years having been born abroad...Personally I've absolutely loved being brought up in this town, from childhood to adult. Yes kids today have little to do, I put that down to modern living and technology, for before 'social media' I was out seeing, talking and partying with my mates.. The Town is steeped in history, venture outside the town centre you'll find some beautiful parks and houses... If your a tourist, cross the valley to the western end of Dover you'll have another beautiful walk to Folkestone across Shakespeare cliffs, you'll see very few people, but horses and cattle grazing, plus Samphire hoe..a must.
Great job Jack. I will be there in a fort night (as you Brit’s say). Thank you for paving the way. If I can find a boat ride in the harbor, that will be enough for me :)😊. I am going to combine my trip with a stop off at Canterbury.
Hey thanks so much Sam and I hope you have a great trip! If it’s of interest I did another video from Canterbury a few months ago if you want to check it out 😄
Hi Jack ... I have just watched this as I am going there tomorrow. (April 24) I am retired and have just finished several years working as a volunteer and need something easy but active to do. I have a bus pass and a senior rail card and am doing 4 hotel nights at a time around the coast by public transport. I started in Greenwich, went to Sheerness then Sittingbourne, Whitstable, Herne Bay, then home via Canterbury. Next, I did Isle of Thanet to Deal 3 weeks ago. Tomorrow, it's Dover and Folkestone and then maybe early May it's Dungerness. Train or bus only and some walking stretches, and if i can manage it, maybe some by boat. So thank you for your preview! I have missed a couple of things I would have liked to have seen to date, so I am doing more research before I go now!
That is fantastic Philippa I am envious of your travels around Kent and you’ve visited some of my favourite places! I’ve done a few videos from some of them! I hope you have a great time in Dover and Folkestone, and hope the weather stays like this for you
the beach below, Fan bay also known as dead mans beach is fully acceseble via the zig zag path down the cliffe face, then a steep stepladder onto the pebbles. on low tide (not advised) you can walk to st margarets bay. i done it as a youth as grew up in the area
On the western heights there is a napoleonic fort. I lived in deal and Dover for 15 years as I worked on the ferries. Dover was a nice town when I lived there but not so much now. It’s got some interesting history. Mobile phone connecting to French network is a common issue.
I kind of want to see the incredibly zoomed in photo of the couple, just look like a blur of pixels. What if they fell off the cliff after and that was the last photo they were ever in
Hello Jack, nice video! There are a lot of swimmers that go down early morning and early evening. On you next wall to Dover, I'd recommend coming on the third Sunday of the month and heading up to The Western Heights, not only because its a fabulous fortification to look around, but on the third Sunday of the month, the Grand Shaft (a triple staircase that goes directly through the cliffs, top to bottom) is open to the public - free of charge and very interesting! You also get incredible views looking back to the cliffs, castle and down onto the marina. 😊❤
Hello Georgie and thanks so much for the suggestion! I had heard about Western Heights but I never knew about the Grand shaft - that sounds fantastic and I’ll be sure to check it out soon!

That's so cool how you can see France!! And those cliffs are very pretty.
I know! My camera zoom isn’t good enough to see on this video but seeing it in person on a clear day is a great experience
Ah that was lovely, so much pretty scenery
That’s right, one of the best walks for views I reckon

Very well said Ken 👏
Love thw white cliffs of Dover
My favourite place to walk
Dover is wonderful. Went there back in 2011 for a daytrip. Would like to go back there and stay for a few days.
Oh yes totally agree. I love that it’s not a typical British seaside town
Not to be rude but honestly don’t bother
Next time go to Crabble a then along the riverside to Kearney abbey, and Russel Gardens, hundreds do the walk at weekends.😊😊😊
Thanks a lot I’ll try that next time

Try living here for a while with the noise of those seagulls from early in the morning
Ha ha oh dear, I’m assuming it’s not that therapeutic after a while

Thanks Dean, that sounds great but I don’t think I’d be brave enough to try that now! 😅

Oh yes Western heights is somewhere I’ve really wanted to visit but never have! Will be sure to check it out
Yes you can get down to the bottom, there is a walkway
I need to try that next time!
yes you can walk dome the beach its called langdon bay its got a ship reck down you can see it on low tide
That’s amazing I’ll have to go back and check it out, cheers 👍

@@jackryanmiller that's what I came for - a tour of the town
Love your videos! We will be visiting soon, next year we hope.
Ah thanks so much Deb! Glad you’re enjoying 😁

Ha ha hilarious, I felt very bad at the time but hey I was in a rush 🤪

Hahaha 'that's how old I felt walking over them'
Also those houses and the backdrop is beautiful
Barry from Eastenders rolled down a hill like that .. i nearly wet myself oh just did 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤩
Yesss finally someone gets the Barry references 🤩
Hmmm i wanna come here bc Baby Queen has a song called Dover Beach lol
So she does! And the music video is actually in Dover !
What an amazing place!
It really is. Thanks for watching 😁
Nope never would never Will id only see people shouting at the incoming tides too go back to wherever they tides domes from😊
Ha that’s usually me 🤪
I don’t understand why people hype up Dover. It’s an awful trampy town with nothing to do especially if your young and you live there
Ah I see your point but I live in London so whenever I visit Dover it’s such a massive change from that scene!
Nothing special
It tells you what it is like with 2 public toilets from everyone in the whole town .
