Welcome to White Cliffs Country!
This new pier is part of the redevelopment of the Western Docks and was opened in May 2019. It is over 500 meters long, and gives an outstanding view of the breath taking White Cliffs and the busy ferry terminal below.
A seating area at the end (with no arcades or gift shops for distraction) allows you to sit and enjoy the wonder and magic of this iconic landmark, which was recently voted in the top 10 of Britians Greatest National Treasures (2019). Dover Castle sits high on the cliffs and is the largest castle in England.
The White Cliffs
The cliff face at its highest reaches 350ft (110m) and and gets its name and appearance due to its make up of chalk and black flint. On a clear day they are visible from the French Coast. The cliffs have been in the care of the National Trust since 2016.
Dover Castle
Dover castle was founded in the 11th century and has been described as the "Key to England" due to its defensive significance throughout history. it is managed and cared for by English Heritage
