White Cliffs of Dover
The White Cliffs of Dover are cliffs in Dover, England. The cliffs are a part of the North Downs cliff formation. The cliffs are white because they are mostly chalk with bits of flint mixed in. These cliffs are a major tourist destination for thousands of people every year. The cliffs are also the biggest cliffs in Great Britain.

The cliffs' multiple layers of flint match those seen across the channel at Cap Gris Nez, France, evidence of a land connection between England and France in prehistoric times.
