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 Englands shoreline. From the ancient
granite cliffs of Lands 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.
