General presentation
Falaises de Douvres et Folkestone
White falsies, castle, harbour, coastal walks, military heritage and views of the Channel.
White Cliffs of Dover, Dover Castle and Folkestone Harbour provide the most telling landmarks of Dover and Folkestone Falaise. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, heritage and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Fales
White Cliffs of Dover
The White Cliffs of Dover The ridge paths give clear views of cliffs and ferries, but ask to respect the wind and the friable edges, especially when the weather is over.
Castle
Dover Castle
Dover Castle reads itself as a living fortification, with courses, high points and a strategic implantation that makes every passage logical. The visit improves its understanding when one alternates external views and interior exploration, paying attention to changes in matter. The details tell as much as the whole.
Port
Folkestone Harbour
Folkestone Harbour offers a port front where trade, docks and horizon create a resolute atmosphere. The walk is pleasant by following the rhythm of the boats and viewpoints. It is a meeting place between city and sea, which wins to be lived without rigid itinerary.
