I visited the Dover Cliffs with jsp77, Malenis, and her partner. It’s a great day out for walking and visiting the war defences; dotted along the cliff are sound mirrors, pillboxes, and deep shelters.
The White Cliffs are hugely iconic in Britain - and for the most part, that's due to their place in military history. They sit across the narrowest part of the Channel, facing towards continental Europe at its closest point to Britain and forming a symbolic guard against invasion. It was this landmark that greeted the thousands of Allied troops evacuated from Dunkirk by the famous 'Little Ships' of World War II.
Thanks for looking,

I don't know who the person in this shot is, but he was sitting right where I wanted to!
