The gateway to Britain, the White Cliffs of Dover are internationally famous. A new 'Gateway' Visitor Centre has spectacular views and introduces the visitor to five miles of coast and countryside through imaginative display and interpretation. Much of the chalk downland along the clifftops is an SSSI with interesting flora and fauna, and the visitor centre is an excellent place to watch the world's busiest shipping lanes. Visitors can also tour South Foreland Lighthouse, a distinctive landmark used by Marconi for his first ship-to-shore radio experiments
