We thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful walk out to the lighthouse, along the cliffs, and then back to the visitor centre. There are picnic tables and toilets at the lighthouse and at the visitor's centre … Full review by Carolyn W

Definitely a must see if you’re nearby! A lot of walking on some uneven ground and some stairs. Perfect place to pack a lunch and eat with an amazing view! Full review by 370ryano

The official car park is about ten minutes walk to the path, and I think you can see some views of the cliffs, but the main path is a very tough walk , I had to stop sit down and rest and twenty five minutes, my friend went on and got great views nearer the light house but I couldn’t possibly make it . To be fair your best bet is a boat trip probably if it’s possible to get one . With only ten minutes walking you may see something but it won’t be the best views .
What Boat tour did you do to see the White Cliffs, I'm having a hard time finding options (except sarafi). idk if its because we're going in October?

Hi. Sorry but we've never done a boat trip to see the Ehite Cliffs. We parked at the NT's car [ark and walked across the top of them. There might be some trips from either Dover or Folkestone but you would need to ask at their visitor information centres. Sorry can't be more helpfulu.
My husband is in a wheelchair and we would like to go and watch the boats leaving the harbour from the car. How do l drive to see this and what sign should l follow?

Thank you all for your answers. We did visit and what a fabulous day we had. Car parking was no problem at all. I wrote to the National Trust and received a very helpful reply from a somebody named Gavin. Well worth a visit! An added bonus is that Blue badge holders enter free.
We are travelling to Dover in late March 2020. Is there a lunch or dinner cruise to see the White Cliffs of Dover from the ocean? If not, would the ferry between Dover and Calais provide viewing the cliffs from afar? Is Dover or Brighton the best place to view the the White Cliffs of Dover on foot, from beach? Thanks

Hi You cant see the white cliffs of Dover from anywhere but Dover district. best from Dover promenade with a walk along the new pier. Also from St Margarets where there is Ian Flemings House but read the moonraker book first for full appreciation. Dover sea front has a great Hotel and great fish and chips at Wheelers. Factory shop behind for shopping after.
Is there a walk that’s not too strenuous along the cliff edge? Say 40 minutes each way or so.
A:
yes. My mum has a broken leg and was able to walk up a path to the top, it took about half hour each way using her crutches. There was a slight incline but she managed it well both up …
yes. My mum has a broken leg and was able to walk up a path to the top, it took about half hour each way using her crutches. There was a slight incline but she managed it well both up and down and could have probably have gone a bit further had we had time.
