Memorial day weekend we took a trip to Dover and walked the area around the beautiful white cliffs. It was a pretty day and a rare sunny day, in May. Dover is a large hub for travelers taking the ferry to France.
We had a picnic lunch, and walked along the trails, took in all the views.
There is a trail that takes you all the way to the light house which is approximately 2 miles away but it felt a lot further. We didn't climb down the cliff because the stairs were so steep and I wasn't sure Brody would be able to handle it.
Sitting on the edge of the world. This is a not a place I would have brought my son if he were a toddler, it's just too scary.
This is a photo of the ferry docks, these aren't the kind of ferries that I'm used to seeing, they are the biggest I've ever seen.
It's really hard to tell in this picture but just to the left of these kayaks, is a remnant of a ship.
Some parts of the path were really steep.
As I mentioned earlier, it was Memorial weekend and there were a lot of people visiting the Dover Castle and the cliffs. Had we gone down the cliffs towards the shore we would have found the tunnels that were used by the Brits in WWII. Next time we visit, there will not be as many people and we will try and find them.
Dover is a beautiful coastline that I'm sure we will see again. It was great way to spend the day and take advantage of the warm weather we are having.
