The White Cliffs of Dover are an iconic natural landmark, rising 110 meters above the English Channel. Visitors can walk the clifftop trails, enjoy panoramic views of the French coast on clear days, and spot seabirds like fulmars and kestrels. The chalk grassland supports rare wildflowers, and the visitor center explains the geology and history. It's a quintessential British experience, immortalized in song and wartime memory.
