There is a 5-10 minute walk to the cliffs to get the best views and we can take a walk along the path on top of the Cliffs taking in the magnificent views, with plenty of photo opportunities. Then visit a couple of seaside villages with a walk on the beach before heading the short distance to Dover Castle.
