What are the White Cliffs of Dover?

The White Cliffs of Dover are an 8-mile stretch of white chalk cliffs streaked with black flint deposits on England’s southeastern coastline.

How do you get to the White Cliffs of Dover?

One of the best day trips from London by train is to the White Cliffs. Starting at London Victoria or London Charing Cross stations will take a bit longer, which is why we recommend leaving from London St. Pancras International for an hour-long journey to Dover Priory.

Do you have to pay to visit the White Cliffs?

No! You can walk along the White Cliffs of Dover for free. Plus, you can make tracks across the grounds of the South Foreland Lighthouse without a fee, though you’ll have to pay for a ticket to climb to the top of the lighthouse.

What should I pack for a trip to Dover?

Pack your normal on-the-go essentials like a water bottle and maybe a snack to nibble on during the hour-long train ride. Be prepared for the weather, too, as the skies can change from sunshine to showers and back again in an instant. We like to stick a rain poncho or umbrella in our bags just in case.
