| Day Trips |
| A day trip to France makes a great day out. With prices starting from a few pounds you can take a trip on a ferry and indulge in a spot of cross channel shopping or simply relax in one of the many fine restaurants or bars that the French sea towns have to offer. There are many bargains to be had in the French hypermarkets and speciality shops, especially cheese, wine, tobacco and perfume. If you do intend to bring back cigarettes, tobacco or alcohol, make sure you familiarize yourself with the custom's guidelines. |
| Crossings |
| There are a variety of ways to cross the channel from Dover. Three ferry companies operate from Dover's Eastern docks and SpeedFerries run the fast craft service from the hoverport. The Channel Tunnel is a 15 minute drive away and offers a quick, reliable way to get to France. Ticket prices vary according to time of year and the time of day you wish to travel. You can often pick up good deals on crossings from publications such as national newspapers. |
