No Experience Required

Morning light hits the white face of the cliffs long before you reach them; gulls wheel and the Channel pushes the horizon into a hard line. On this full‑day circuit from London or Dover you move from open sea air to compact village greens and the hushed stone of a ruined abbey — a day that pairs England’s coastal geology with the exacting history of 1066.
