      My mum grew up there during WW2. Shelled and bombed, it really was Hellfire Corner. It took years to clear away and rebuild all the damaged areas.

      Dover cliffs and castle, beautiful, It's a reference point for the unidentified illegal migrants from France to head for so that they arrive to invade the UK successfully. The Germans could not succeed but now significant numbers daily can invade the UK quite easily across the English Channel in dingies. An estimated 20,000 will arrive on British shores in 2021 unopposed by British forces. This should be recorded in History as the only invasion of the UK which was never repelled.

      Love this video about Dover city in the United Kingdom, like your explanation about this city history. Hope to see more videos from other cities too in the U.K. Watching this from Paramaribo – Suriname

      When I look at these I always get a, how do I even explain this, a nostalgic feeling about continents breaking apart. Just look at that structure. It is so beautiful and yet points to such a brutal ancient past in a time before man when the continents and very world reshaped itself. I have never seen another place on earth which looks like this and gives this feeling. It just screams out to me about the ancients in so many ways.

      Hi Steve, great video and thanks for posting. I had the pleasure of flying over the White Cliffs in a Spitfire and felt the emotions of seeing the Cliffs, as the young pilots would have seen battling to save us and of course for bomber crews returning home recognising these as a sign of safety, was an emotional experience. I recently walked Along the Cliffs and visited Dover Castle and learned a lot from your video, which was well narrated, photographed and edited. Greetings from the UK🇬🇧

      A chameleons is also able to moves its eyes independantly of each other. This allows it to look im two different directions at once.

      I've had the pleasure of staying here for a few weeks. Most likely I'm moving soon but I plan to revisit when I can afford to really see everything.

      It's a great little town that history buffs and nature lovers will appreciate.

      10/10 would recommend 😍💚
