    Points of interest at White Cliffs

    The White Cliffs of Dover have to be one of Britain's most instantly recognised natural landmarks. Rising out of the English Channel to over 300ft high in places, they are a dramatic and inspiring sight from the sea and provide superb views out across the Channel towards France. The cliffs stretch for 10 miles between Folkestone to the west and Walmer to the east.

    The White Cliffs is a place of great historical interest that has played a key role in Britain's history. Visitors can enjoy pleasant walks with inspiring views out to sea, on a clear day you can see 21 miles across the Channel to France. And, along the cliff top there is incredibly diverse plant and wildlife.

    The National Trust cares for about 6 miles of the cliffs including:

    • Bockhill Farm
    • Bockell Hill
    • Foxhill Down
    • Golden Hill
    • Harbledown
    • Great Farthingloe
    • Kindsdown Leas and Wood
    • Langdon Cliffs and Hole
    • Lighthouse Down
    • Pegwell Bay
    • Sandwich Bay
    • South Foreland Lighthouse
    • St. Margaret's Lea
