Dover was originally planned as a penal probation station but there is little evidence of its convict past except for the well preserved Commandant's office. Today Dover is an important centre for both the apple and the fishing industries. The southern hemisphere's largest Atlantic salmon farm is located here. Local attractions include the thermal swimming pool at Hastings Cave Reserve and the Ida Bay scenic railway.
