Dover Cliffs Walk + Tunnel Tour

[@LookWhosBlogging]

I passed it on a ferry boat when I was in Europe!! Ok, that port was probably where I departed from. Next time I'm there, I'd wanna go on a tour and also see the lighthouse. Fan Bay shelter looks like a cool place to visit too. Fun to experience it total darkness!! ok, so it's a sound mirror, right? not a mirror mirror. Dang, didn't know there's so much history there at the cliffs!!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes, next time you need to visit the cliffs. Maybe wait til the boys are a little older though, you have to be 12 to go in the tunnel. Total darkness was neat and yes it is a sound mirror, it reflects the sounds.

[@TravelingGraces]

I love walks like this and this one is definitely an iconic one! The tunnels looks so cool as well, we will definitely have to add this on our next trip to England!!!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes, it is definitely worth a visit. The views are amazing and the tunnel is fascinating

[@JoshRimer]

I love how in Europe you can just see another country in the distance. lol - everything is so close! It does look like you had a fab day there!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes so different. We did have a great time, love it when the weather cooperates.

[@MySuitcaseJourneys]

Wow, how stunning!!! Looks like such a relaxing stroll and the tour sounds like a good idea too when in the area. I find it so much easier to appreciate places when you know about their history!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thanks glad you liked it! It was a great place for a walk and I definitely agree that learning the history makes you appreciate the places more.

Nice video. We visited on a blustery, rainy day in March. It was a Monday and we discovered all the tours and the castle were closed. We went ahead and hiked a good ways down the cliffs with about 6 inches of mud in most places. It was still beautiful and we really enjoyed it.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thank you! Yeah during the low season hours are limited but I am glad you guys still managed to enjoy it.

[@wlouisharris]

@@TwoTravelingTexans It was quite surreal really with all the rain and fog. We had layers of clothes on so we were able to bear it. Such an amazing view looking out over the English channel on any type of day.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

@@wlouisharris That does sound atmospheric!

[@EllaMcKendrick]

Wow, those cliffs are gorgeous! To think I live in England and have never been here before. I certainly need to change that. You were also lucky enough to get really nice weather too. I can't believe you can see France from there!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Ella - You must go. It is an impressive place. I hope you get lucky with the weather like we did.

[@myfamilytravelzone3936]

These cliffs look amazing. I am sure we would love to visit this tunnel. As always, a great introduction of historical place and useful tips for travelers.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thank you! I hope you get the chance to see the cliffs and the tunnel

[@Golfadventureswithchris]

Wow never realized how close France was to there. Those cliffs are so amazing with those views of the light house. The tunnel tour would be so interesting with all the history that happen there.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes, France is just a little bit more than 20 miles away. The White Cliffs of Dover are a fascinating place

[@travelpockets]

Wow, so cool that you can see France in the distance!! And those cliffs are beautiful indeed.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes, we got so lucky with the weather, couldn't have asked for a better day

[@davidpurcell9815]

I went to boarding school in Dover for five years in the 1960s. I know the cliffs on both sides of the town like the back of my hand! You can imagine the aerial dog-fights in the blue skies over Dover in the dark days of WW2. You can also see the site where Bleriot landed after the first aeroplane crossing of the Channel. Dover Castle on the Eastern hill and the Citadel on the Western Heights are fascinating. You can also visit Shakespeare Beach where King Lear was said to have wandered around (if you have the stamina to walk on pebbles!)

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thanks for the tips. We did go to Dover Castle. Will have to take not of the Citadel and Shakespeare Beach for our next visit.

[@davidpurcell9815]

@@TwoTravelingTexans I also enjoyed your friendly Texan presentation style!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

@@davidpurcell9815 Awe thank you! Thank makes my day

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Nice walk along the cliffs and I must admit, it is a place I have never visited before. The tunnel tour looked and sounded real interesting but then again, I love anything to do with history. Good to see you getting some nice weather there as well, cheers Alan

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Alan - You would love the Dover Cliffs. It's not as challenging of a hike as I see in your videos but the views on a nice day are amazing. You would love the tunnel tour too

[@debbiegraham9776]

How interesting! We have not made it to England yet, so your introduction to the Dover Cliffs and the tunnels are quite interesting and beautiful. Thanks!!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Glad you enjoyed it! There is so much to see in England. Of course, London, but outside of London there is a lot too. It's definitely an underrated travel destination

[@allisonjudkins]

You are really good on camera. Speak very well. Loved watching this

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words

[@r0Ky23]

Those cliffs are mighty! England has such a lovely coast, I was in Bournemouth once and it was amazing :)

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes, we were also around Bournemouth recently, they have some lovely beaches there too.

[@NomadicBuff]

Definitely on my bucket list! What an incredible natural phenomenon! Hope I get to go! I didn't realize that you could see France from England..... I mean, I knew that there was just a narrow channel separating them, but I still thought it would be far enough away that you wouldn't be able to see it.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

You have to go! I was surprised you could see France too. We got lucky and had a clear day. If it's not clear, than I am sure you wouldn't be able to

[@bugsandbears]

These are enormous cliffs! Really cool to see such a place back home in Europe! That tunnel looks so much fun to explore and amazing that you can see France from over there. Really cool video, we just subscribed #525. Keep it up, Doris & Matthias 🐻

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thank you! Both the cliffs and the tunnels were amazing. Where in Europe are you from?

[@bugsandbears]

@@TwoTravelingTexans We're from Austria, living in Vienna - but right now we're on a journey around the world, currently travelling with an RV from Alaska to Mexico.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

That is exciting! We are going to be doing a mini West Coast road trip soon (just SF to LA)

[@bugsandbears]

Hey Anisa & Russel! The white cliffs are really epic, this view is really great. Would be amazing to fly a drone there (if allowed). So cool that they painted the lighthouse all in white. Makes it a "white house" 😅 (love bad word jokes). Walking in those tunnels looks really adventurous. Thanks for sharing! Doris & Matthias 🐻

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thanks guys. Yeah we would have loved to fly our drone there but it is not allowed.

[@pcoldlight5631]

Hi, nice to see you continuing your travels, it's been a while since I've seen the white cliffs . If you are in Kent for a while u might want to check out Leeds castle , also vineyards in that area. Also Arundel on the Sussex coast is a really nice town on the river Arun and it has a castle. Thanks for your latest video.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thanks for the comment. We are back in Norfolk now. I have been to Leeds Castle years ago and it is lovely, would love to go back. I would also love to try some vineyards next time I am there, any specific ones you would recommend? I haven't been to the Arundel but hopefully we can make it there on a future trip.

[@shareenmedina]

Great video! This place looks so nice.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thank you, glad you liked it

[@AlbertoMendoza]

Seems like a very long walk. But having the the cliffs near sure makes a worth it!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

It's actually not too long, we took our time and enjoyed the view. It's probably 2-3 miles to the lighthouse

[@pcoldlight5631]

Hi, actually I have only driven past the vineyards . I drive a lot in my job and see all these nice places then go back when I have some time off but I have seen lots of vineyards in Kent . Apparently English wine is on the up especially with the summer we have had. I hope u keep up the videos and keel discovering the interesting places we have this side of the pond . My next trip is on a boat in a couple of weeks from a place called Benson just outside of Reading , apparently some really nice countryside. I'll let u know . Have fun.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Thanks. Yes I will have to try some English wine. Hope you have a great trip

[@MastMaulaPuran]

Stunning .... I wish I was there 😊😊😊

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Sorry somehow I missed your comment. Yes, I loved the Dover Cliffs, we got lucky with the weather. I hope you get the chance to visit

[@travelafterfive1226]

What awesome views!

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes, I was surprised we could see all the way to France

[@nickandhelmi]

what you can see france! :D i wish your camera can zoom, that would have been an amazing to see live - goodness feels like you can just swim accross - such a beautiful pier, i always believe being on high ground gives you a perspective like no other :D

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes too bad the gopro doesn't zoom . its funny my phone even thought we were in france at some points.

[@mikesaunders4775]

I know Dover well, the castle is a million times more interesting than the one at Windsor. There are remains from Roman times ( Lighthouse), Saxon times (Church),and of course the Norman castle,which has actually seen combat ,unlike its more famous compatriot in Berkshire.There is also a lot of WW1 and WW2 dug into the cliff face.

[@TwoTravelingTexans]

Yes, we went to Dover Castle too (it's in another video) agree it's definitely worth a visit

[@iloveheavymetalmetalrules6829]

The cliffs at night time give me chills

[@peterc5543]

Please less of you guys and More of the beautiful sites. You can narrate off camera too. FYI.
