The White Cliffs of Dover — That’s not Brighton … Upon leaving Folkestone to go to Brighton we decided to head off in the opposite direction instead and visit the White Cliffs of Dover.

Folkestone beach and habour wall — Ginger captured this excellent view of the beach and harbour wall. The next morning I had a great run here, from the hotel, through the back streets and passages down to the harbour, out along the wall. Then back along the beach and sea front ending with the 200 ft climb back to the hotel.

Long way down.

View from the Scenic Overlook — looking northwest. Clear skies and a higher sun made it a lot easier to see the lie of the land.

View from the Scenic Overlook — looking southwest. Look carefully and you can see the two roads I still have to cross. But first I have to get down off this ridge and cross the creek.

Eleven Point River, scenic overlook — And the only scenic overlook on the Whites Creek Trail. You had better enjoy it! The trail along the top of the bluff is a tad sketchy in places, but it is fine here, though you need a head for heights to step out on the overlook.

Eleven Point River view from my campsite — looking south — I camped about half a mile from here back in March 2023. I thought this location might offer better views. It did.
