On To The White Cliffs of Dover
The White Cliffs of Dover are cliffs that form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliffs are part of the North Downs formation. The cliff face, which reaches up to 350 feet (110 m),[1] owes its striking façade to its composition of chalk accentuated by streaks of black flint. The cliffs spread east and west from the town of Dover in the county of Kent, an ancient and still important English port. The cliffs have great symbolic value in Britain because they face towards Continental Europe across the narrowest part of the English Channel. This was one of the primary invasion points in Operation Sea Lion, Nazi Germany's code name for a provisionally proposed invasion of the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War.
Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site,
which lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of
Kent in the United Kingdom. It lies on the River Stour.
Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, Kent is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England and forms part of a World Heritage Site. It is the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, leader of the Church of England and symbolic leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Its formal title is the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ at Canterbury. Founded in 597, the cathedral was completely rebuilt from 1070 to 1077. The east end was greatly enlarged at the beginning of the twelfth century, and largely rebuilt in the Gothic style following a fire in 1174, with significant eastward extensions to accommodate the flow of pilgrims visiting the shrine of Thomas Becket, the archbishop who was murdered in the cathedral in 1170.
“A famous English books is the Canterbury Tales, about pilgrims journeying to the city. There is no evidence that the author, Geoffrey Chaucer, ever visited Canterbury.”
“Canterbury Cathedral is one of the oldest
in England, parts of it dating from the
6th century. A 17th century bell is still rung every day to open and close the cathedral.”
“Canterbury started as an Iron Age settlement. In 43 AD the Romans invaded Britain. The Romans called the new town Durovernum Cantiacorum.”
