The White Cliffs of Dover

Who wouldn’t want to take a walk along the most iconic landmark in all of Britain?

The white cliffs are a National Trust site, and as such, benefit from amenities such as plentiful parking and a visitor centre with a gift shop and cafe. If you take the longer walk to the lighthouse, you will also find a celebrated tea room.

Sadly, dogs aren’t allowed inside at the visitor centre or tea-room, but there is outside seating and water bowls in both locations, so you and your pooch can still sit together and enjoy some refreshments. And if you find you’ve forgotten your poo bags, not to worry, because the visitor centre is happy to provide some for free.

The main walk is the coastal path towards South Foreland Lighthouse. Just remember to put your dog on their lead when you reach the top, as the cliff is unfenced. There is also a short walk available from the visitor centre to the cliff viewing point that is wheelchair and pushchair friendly.

Walk Length: 3.2km Difficulty: Easy Starting Point: National Trust visitor centre Terrain: Grassland, hills Free Parking? Free for National Trust members and Blue Badge holders, £5 for non-members
