avatarKavin Raj M3 months agoVisiting the White Cliffs of Dover was such a refreshing experience! It’s the perfect place to spend the whole day with friends and family. The walk to the lighthouse took about 50 minutes, and along the way, I saw so much beauty – the Fan Bay shelter, the beach, and of course, the cliffs themselves. The view from the top, with the sea stretching out and the port in the distance, was absolutely stunning. And those white cliffs… wow! They were just mesmerizing, like something out of a dream. Overall, the walk took us around 2-3 hours to complete, and I didn’t even mind the time because the surroundings were so peaceful. If you love taking photos, this is definitely the place to be – so many perfect spots to capture the beauty of nature. They’ve got good parking, a shop, and a small café, though it’s not a huge selection. But overall, it’s a must-visit spot to take in the views, get some fresh air, and just enjoy the day. I left feeling so relaxed and grateful for the experience. I’d definitely recommend it!
avatarIan Murraya month agoBrilliant place well worth a visit, there is a nice walk along to top of the cliffs with great views over the Channel. Very nice cafe with great food and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this place to all if you are in the area, try it you won't be disappointed, I would definitely return to this place.
avatarMarinella Chetta3 weeks agoBeautiful, make sure to reach the lighthouse, the view during the trail is fantastic! About 30 minutes from the shelter. If you're lucky with a bit of a sunny weather, you can see France border.
