Travel to Calais

From England it's the gateway to France: at just 21 miles from the white cliffs of Dover, Calais is for many the historic entry point to France. It's the main passenger ferry port and the second largest commercial port for Anglo-French trade. Calais is just a hop, skip and a jump from Belgium too.

However, Calais is not just a ferry terminal: it's worth a visit in its own right. The capital of lacemaking sits between wild landscape and savage seas, with impressive chalky cliffs mirroring those on the English side of the channel.
