Cliffs of Dover

In the early nineties Eric Johnson composed a song called “Cliffs of Dover” that, despite its lack of big commercial success, is commonly considered one of the best guitar songs of all time. It even got featured in the Guitar Hero games, which I admit was where I first heard the song. It spurred some interest into what inspired the song, that being the White Cliffs of Dover in the shoreline of England. Naturally, they were a tourist attraction and national landmark well before the song was released, and the song has probably done nothing to help in the awareness for the natural rocky formation.
Visiting the cliffs of Dover, nearby Dover, in Kent, is something that everyone should really do at least once in their lifetime, as it’s a very eerie experience, especially when seen for the first time. Renting a car to visit the cliffs and then going around the town of Dover is an excellent idea, as Kent car hire companies are both reliable and cheap. When visiting Kent, there is more to see than just the Cliffs of Dover. Dover castle is an absolutely stunning, huge medieval castle that’s played an important role in Britain’s defense throughout the ages. The whole town of Dover, actually, is well worth a visit.
