Welcome to The White Cliffs of Dover
We took a Viator tour out of London to Leeds, The White Cliffs of Dover, and then to Canterbury. You could only see the cliffs from a side view at the bottom of the cliffs in the town of Dover. It would have been so much better if we could have taken a small craft out into the water and get a view from there.
