Location
The White Cliffs of Dover are one of England’s most recognizable landmarks. The sheer cliffs of white chalk mark the closest part of England and reach up to 350 feet (110 m). The cliffs spread 10 miles east and west from the town of Dover
For centuries the cliffs of Dover have been a symbol of Englands defiant spirit, standing watch over the Channel. However the cliffs are slowly crumbling away due to erosion by waves, rain, wind and freezing. The cliffs retreat at an average rate of about half an inch a year. Bigger collapses take place occasionally, last time in 2012.
