White Cliffs Country

White Cliffs Country, named after its chalk coastline, takes in the Kent county towns of Dover, Deal and Sandwich.

Almost a quarter of White Cliffs Country falls within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers walking trails for the serious and more social rambler along with the National Cycle Route.

Dover
Known as the Gateway to England, Dover has been an important UK port since Roman times. This coastal town in the county of Kent. It’s a major port for ferries to Calais, in France. It is dominated by the medieval Dover Castle, which was built to repel invasions from across the English Channel, and houses the extensive Secret Wartime Tunnels. The White Cliffs of Dover are Britain’s closest point to continental Europe. The Dover 2020 Vision project embraces ambitious plans and aspirations for the area.
