More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the vehicle at first light and the Channel wind pushes at your jacket as if the coast itself remembers that day. Fresh chalk cliffs frame long stretches of sand where small groups of visitors examine concrete casemates and scattered memorials. Your guide points across the surf to where artificial harbours once floated; the story of engineering and courage unfolds between the sea and fields.
