'''Dover''' (Derivation: Old Celt for a stream, the Dour.) is a town and seaport on the coast of [[Kent]] overlooking the narrowest part of the English Channel – called the Straits of Dover. It is England’s busiest passenger port, and has been for all of England’s history. There is evidence of a pre-Roman settlement and the ruins of a Roman lighthouse are among the oldest in Britain. There was a [[Saxon]] fort there and the great [[Norman]] castle still stands above the harbour. It was one of the original five [[Cinque Ports]] (with [[Hythe]], [[Hastings]], [[Romney]] and [[Sandwich]])
