Dover – OS Wallpaper Download November 2026
This month’s wallpaper from our flying team is of Dover, to celebrate the 225th anniversary of Ordnance Survey’s 1801 map of Kent.
Dover has long been a gateway between Britain and continental Europe, but it is also one of Kent’s most rewarding destinations for outdoor adventure. Surrounded by the iconic White Cliffs and rolling downland, the area offers spectacular walking opportunities, including sections of the North Downs Way that showcase some of the finest coastal scenery in the country.
The town’s most famous landmark, Dover Castle, has watched over the Kent coastline for centuries, standing above a landscape that is made for exploration. From the castle’s historic ramparts, a network of trails extends across the chalk hills and iconic White Cliffs, offering spectacular coastal walks, abundant wildlife and far-reaching views across the English Channel.
More than two centuries after the county was first captured on an OS map, Dover continues to be shaped by its remarkable landscape. While the town, port and transport links have evolved over time, the distinctive coastline and open countryside that define this corner of Kent remain as compelling today as they were in 1801.
