Between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne, Sussex coast in southern England, the White Cliffs of Dover form a coastal landscape with steep falls entirely white, in an area that has remained almost intact and others to human intervention. They are located on the Strait of Dover, within a natural park (Seven Sisters Country Park), about 280 hectares of unspoilt coastline with picturesque undulating greens that are interrupted abruptly with the fall of the sea.
cliffs reaching up to 106 meters, and have a particular white due to the composition of chalk (calcium carbonate), which is exposed due to the effect of the steady erosion of the sea. Recommend course, no closer than five meters from the cliff edge because of the fragility of training, a detail not lower for those who want to enjoy nature without being exposed to unnecessary risks.
