![]() This Victorian marvel is a Tardis that has witnessed an incredible amount of history, science and innovation. The second special place to be reached on the cliff walk is South Foreland Lighthouse. After an extraordinary volunteer effort we opened the Second World War tunnel complex and two First World War Sound Mirrors in 2015 and now take you on a fantastic hard hat head torch lit adventure. ![]() The first place that you come to, only a mile and a half from the Visitor Centre is Fan Bay Deep Shelter. Here at The White Cliffs of Dover we are able to offer not only a wonderful walk with breath taking views, but also guided tours around two historical places. ![]() This German trade vessel was the largest five-mast, full-rigged ship ever built and wrecked on the 7th November 1910 due to a miscalculation in speed, causing it to collide with R.M.S Brighton. The other wreck that can seen whilst walking across the cliffs, this one just off the shores of Fan Bay, is the Preuβen. You can still see the thick steel hull and ribs today. This vessel was carrying a cargo of hemp and matches which unsurprisingly caught fire and ran her aground in 1926. ![]() The first is visible from the first viewpoint on the beach in Langdon Hole and is all that remains of the iron-screw steamer The SS Falcon, owned by the General Steam Navigation Company. For example two wrecks can be seen at the base of the cliffs.
