There may not be bluebirds
over the White Cliffs of Dover but these towering
chalk monoliths remain an evocative reminder of
past heroics. From here on a clear day you can see
France, 21 miles away, and feel history on the
breeze. It was at or near Dover in 55BC that
Julius Caesar landed with 6,000 men in 80 boats to
mount his invasion of Britain. Later the Angles,
Jutes and Saxons settled here, while William the
Conqueror’s half brother, Bishop Odo of Bayeux,
arrived with prefabricated parts for a castle. |
