Other

Entrance to White Cliffs is ticketless and free of charge. Normal parking charges apply – National Trust members and Blue Badge holders can park for free. Refreshments are available in the cafeteria. Many books are very old and have been in much-loved private collections before being donated to the National Trust. The condition of the books varies. All are offered for sale on a ‘sold-as-seen’ basis, with most bargain-priced, considerably less than an online valuation, depending on condition. Please be aware that, as with all vintage books, content may be consistent with language, customs and values that existed at the time of writing. Books may contain marks or annotations from their previous owners. You can pay for your purchases in sterling using cash or card/e-wallet. Sorry, no cheques. All proceeds from the book sale go directly to funding White Cliffs conservation and maintenance projects. Dogs are welcome in the outside seating area adjacent to the book fair. Dog water bowls are provided. Assistance dogs only are welcome in the Visitor Centre building.
