  The
White Cliffs of Dover:
Starting about six miles South of Sandwich at Kingsdown, the world famous
White cliffs stretch for about ten miles along the coast past Dover
towards Folkestone. They are best viewed from Kingsdown, St
Margarets bay or from the sea. Hourly boat trips depart from De
Bradelei wharf Dover aboard Star of Killarney and explore many facets of
harbour life. Contact Richard Mahony (01304 271388). Alternatively view
from the ferry.
The Western Heights and the Langdon Cliffs (see www.nationaltrust.org.uk) are also well worth a visit, the latter provide marvelous
walking over the White Cliffs. There
is ample parking (small charge/free to National Trust members) and a good cafe with interesting displays exhibiting
cliff and chalk downland ecology. Look out for the rare exmoor ponies
used to manage the grassland.
The South Foreland Lighthouse (01304 852463) is worth walking to
but the path requires sensible footwear and some stamina. 30minute tours
available in the summer except Tues and Wed.
