Dover Castle with the White Cliffs viewed from the Dover Calais Ferry.
The sight of the white cliffs of Dover viewed from the Dover Calais Ferry, whether outbound or returning can always invoke an emotional response in travellers from the UK. I don’t know why that is, but surely it cant be anything to do with that overexposed Vera Lyn song about the non existent bluebirds? Anyway, the castle itself is rather wonderful and looks good from all angles, whether from the ferry or down in the town of Dover, or from across the valley up at the Western Heights. One thing not everybody knows is that the white cliffs are riddled with tunnels, large caves and passageways, left over from the Napoleonic period and enhanced during the second world war.
