WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER, SUSSEX

Here's a nice picture from the famous cliffs of Dover. They were mentioned by Julius Caesar in his account of the Roman invasion of Britain in 55 BC. Shakespeare too makes reference to them in King Lear and the lines beginning "There is a cliff, whose high and bending head looks fearfully on the confined deep" are commemorated by Shakespeare Cliff to the west of the town. These chalk cliffs were formed in the Cretaceous Period, which commenced about 136,000,000 years ago.(waooh!!) Apart from these technical elements, they're just wonderful.
