The White Cliffs of Dover, Kent

Stretching eight miles along the Kent coastline, the White Cliffs of Dover are an awesome sight. Rising majestically to 350ft above the waves, the chalk cliffs are a welcome first sight of home for many a weary traveller and soldier, as memorably captured in Vera Lynn’s wartime ballad. Managed by the National Trust since 2016, the chalk grasslands offer wonderful strolls, plus there’s a visitor centre and a wheelchair-friendly path. On a clear day, you can see France.
