Took the wife and kids on a hit day, only PS6 to park if you are a non member which is quite good. The walk routes are well marked, the views are fantastic, little visitors centre with a cafe, free water and a shop. There is also a park for the kids. Definitely recommend if you want a place to picnic it's much better than going into Dover itself.

If you plan on visiting London and have some spare time, then make sure to visit the iconic chalk cliffs along the southeast coast of England The White Cliffs of Dover is only about two hours away by car and about an hour on the train. Absolutely loved the idyllic scenery. The trail is clean and easy to walk and there are a few souvenir shops and cafes to fuel up on some refreshments. I believe the entry cost about PS5 and you pay for parking if you drive.

It's a beautiful scenic walk along the cliffs. The path is accessible for most people and there is open areas to relax and take in the views. My 5 and 7 year olds did the entire walk with little complaints. We went in summer so it was quite busy but it well worth the visit. The cafe has lovely cakes and things to eat. For National Trust members it's free, including parking.

Lovely cafe, ample parking, stunning walks and some incredible history. This small stretch of land has seen potentially the most action since modern warfare. What was once in range Nazis cannons, is now a flourishing nature reserve, full of butterflies! I won't spoil it, but the tunnels, where the massive 15" British cannons where located, are quite a sight, and the sound mirrors are fascinating. They really were the precursor to radar. Various paths show off aspects of the cliffs, including great views of the docks.

This trail offers a fantastic hiking experience. The scenic views were amazing, with ships departing from the Port of Dover adding a dynamic touch. Although the sea was foggy, obscuring views of France and the rest of Europe, the weather was mild with little wind, making for a comfortable hike. I look forward to visiting again.

National Trust - The White Cliffs of Dover: A Spectacular Journey Our recent visit to the National Trust's White Cliffs of Dover was nothing short of remarkable. We embarked on the entire route, stretching over 20 miles, all the way to the charming town of Deal. This trek offered us breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience. Starting our journey, we stopped by the National Trust's cafe where we indulged in a delightful tea accompanied by delicious scones. The taste was exquisite and set the perfect tone for our adventure. We also explored their quaint shop, filled with intriguing antique books, adding a touch of historical charm to our visit. The facilities were well-maintained, and we made good use of the clean and accessible restrooms. One of the highlights was watching the playful jackdaws picking up crumbs from our table, providing us with endless entertainment and lifting our spirits. This initial stop at the National Trust was a wonderful way to start our journey, leaving us in high spirits and ready to explore the scenic beauty of the White Cliffs. The combination of stunning landscapes, warm hospitality, and delightful experiences made our visit truly special.
