Kate follows the iconic white cliffs of Dover on a 15-mile walk of contrasts. Kate's walk begins above Folkestone Harbour at Martello Tower 3, built to defend against Napoleon.Jan Higgins likes this - 10 April 2022 12:15376268And on Sky
A League of Their Own Road Trip: Dingle to Dover.
Presumably Dover is in the last (6th) episode.

(Obviously accepting that housing gets more expensive of course as a consequence )
I'm hoping C5 have got it right now, because the other week it was advertised and it was a completely different episode!Jan Higgins likes this - Keith Sansum1

- 20 April 2022 17:10376455Today, courtesy of C4's Travel Man, I learned that Dover is apparently twinned with Split in Croatia.
A nice jolly for certain people I'm sure.Matey likes this - 24 June 2022 11:04377518Did anyone spot Dover last weekend on the Channel 5 programme about the 1976 heatwave?
