Dover Cliffs
The Dover Cliffs, also known as the White Cliffs of Dover, are famous chalk cliffs located along the southeastern coast of England. They rise about 350 feet (110 meters) above the English Channel and stretch for approximately 8 miles (13 kilometers). The cliffs are composed primarily of chalk, a soft white rock formed from the remains of tiny marine organisms.
These iconic cliffs have significant historical and cultural importance, often symbolizing Britain's resilience. They are a popular tourist destination, offering stunning views and walking trails. The cliffs are also visible from the coast of France on clear days, highlighting their geographical significance.
