The strategic significance of this stretch of coastline is exemplified by the number and variety of defensive structures, such as Henry VIII’s castles at Deal and Walmer, Martello Towers built to repel Napoleon at Folkestone and Dymchurch and the magnificent Dover Castle, perched on the iconic White Cliffs, guarding the narrow straits for over 2000 years. The coastline is a delightful mix of sandy bays, chalky cliffs and shingle outcrops creating a combination of wildlife habitats that attract a wonderful variety of birdlife and plants. From pretty Broadstairs to wild Dungeness, the coast weaves past Victorian seaside resorts, medieval Cinque Ports, busy harbours and country parks. Opportunities for outdoor activities and water-sports abound including a championship golf course at Sandwich, the Royal Marina at Ramsgate and Samphire Hoe, a wonderful site created from Channel Tunnel spoil.
