The postcard star of Kent’s southern shore are the White Cliffs of Dover, and a walk along the mighty cliffs affords impressive views across the English Channel. Seafront walks, rocky coves, and cliff-top golf courses pepper the coast north of Dover, where the Tudor fortifications at Deal and Walmer also beckon. To the south, Folkestone has seaside camping and sandy beaches, while ramblers and wildlife lovers can explore the Romney Marshes and Dungeness, a huge shingle spit that’s technically the UK’s only desert and an internationally important habitat for birds, insects, and plants.
