White Cliffs of Dover

The sea did what it liked, and what it liked was destruction. It thundered at the town, and thundered at the cliffs, and brought the coast down, madly. ~ Charles Dickens

The White Cliffs of Dover, part of the North Downs formation, is the region of English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France.
