The hike over the cliff is a great experience and offers some spectacular views of the English Channel. Make sure to wear appropriate hiking shoes, as even a drizzle could make the clay muddy.

The weather wasn't really good but we've thoroughly enjoyed the White Cliffs. This is a magnificent place full of powerful energy.

I had always wanted to go, never had the opportunity, and now I can't wait to return! Breathtakingly beautiful area ... a photographers dream! We couldn't get enough of the panoramic beauty!

this is a lovely place to go - we actually went a few days before our wedding day to unwind and take some time out and it certainly done the trick - you get a great view of the ferrys and that's relaxing - the walks are great - if you walk around a bit you can actually get to... More

The white cliffs are worth the effort. I walked from the station. It was a quick 35 in walk - the guidebooks say 45 mins. This walk takes you to the beginning of the cliffs. This section is above the shipping terminal and there is much transport activity below. This does detract a little from the experience. I suspect that... More

The attraction is run by National trust and they do the good professional job that they always do on such things. Parking is easy and the walks on the cliffs are well signposted and well maintained. Maybe its just me being a little thick though but when you're on the white cliffs of Dover, you can't really see the white... More

Without a doubt this has too be my number 1 destination of 2012-13, its one of those places you wont want to leave, especially on a sunny day. With the hustle and bustle of the busy port, and the quite hills of Langdon hole, its a fantastic place for families, pets or by yourself, a great time to think and... More

A real Part of WWII history. Fantastic views from the cliffs but plan on many steps and a bit of wind. Ocean looks great from there.

Visited with family over the bank holiday weekend. What a great day. Lovely long walk along the cliffs. We started at the visitor centre and did a round trip to the light house. As mentioned in some other reviews a little pricy but then again what isn't. You get great views of the coast and it makes a real change... More

We try and visit the Cliffs when ever we come to Dover to visit family. The views from the top are really good, just sitting down over looking the docks with all the comings and goings of the ferries is really interesting and passes a few hours, even on dull days there is always things to see. The National Trust... More
