There are cliffs at dover that are world famous. I’m sure you know the ones I’m referring to. The White Cliffs of Dover.

These are a bright region of the English coastline which directly face France. Known around the world as an icon of Britain, they were a key symbol of home and wartime defence during World War 2.

I'm a sucker for a cool fact so, some cool facts about the cliffs are:

- The cliffs measure up to 110 metres high at their tallest parts
- James Bond author wrote Moonraker in a holiday home at the base of the cliffs
- The cliffs house a secret tunnel network built during the Napolenic War which were used during World War 2
- 2 shipwrecks are visible from the cliffs; SS Falcon which caught fire in 1926 and RMS Brighton which crashed due to a miscalculation in 1910
- Vera Lynn, iconic British singer during the World War 2 Period and beyond, sung a song 'The White Cliffs of Dover' about these cliffs

Despite being from Maidstone, a 50-minute drive away from Dover, I’ve never visited this world-famous landmark. I’m a terrible human being, I know. As I had a free Saturday, I decided to put an end to the madness of not having visited this beautiful site and drove down for a walk.

The National Trust look after a portion of the White Cliffs of Dover and help provide and maintain a beautiful nature walk. This is the exact walk that I show you in the video and I highly recommend it to everyone. That includes you. Yes, you!
