White Cliffs of Dover

The White Cliffs of Dover
Dover, a seaport and town located on the strait of Dover in England is most famous for its White Cliffs in the mouth of the valley in its chalky uplands.

The cliffs are along the southern coast of England’s shoreline. From the ancient granite cliffs of Land’s End in the Southwest is a succession of Sandstone of different colors, culminating in the white chalk from Isle of Wight to Dover.

This is how they derived their name - White Cliffs of Dover.
