July light, quiet paths, and the sea below.
On a sunny day in July, I took a little escape to Dover, in the southeast of England. I’d always heard about the White Cliffs, but seeing them in person was something else — bright, bold, and peaceful all at once.
The sky was perfectly blue, not a single cloud in sight. A soft breeze, the sound of birds, and just a few people scattered along the path. It felt like the perfect kind of quiet.
Walking the Cliffs
There’s a walking trail that takes you along the top of the cliffs — simple, easy to follow, and stunning from the first step. The full route from the Dover Visitor Centre to the South Foreland Lighthouse is about 7 km (4.3 miles) round trip. Nothing too hard, just the right length to slow down and soak it all in.
The chalky cliffs drop straight into the sea, and the contrast between the white rock and the deep blue water is something I tried to capture with every photo. Along the way, you’ll see wildflowers, open fields, and views that stretch all the way to France on a clear day.
It’s the kind of place that doesn’t ask for much — just your time, a camera, and a bit of curiosity.
