white cliffs
England's chalky shore
White cliffs are coastal formations of chalk or limestone that appear strikingly pale against the sea.
The term most often refers to the White Cliffs of Dover on England's southeast coast, a national symbol visible from France across the English Channel: We could see the white cliffs as we approached by ferry.
Similar formations appear elsewhere along chalky coastlines.
