Britain's white cliffs & sea stacks

Ten dramatic chalk and sandstone coastal landmarks.

Britain's coastline carries some of the most iconic chalk and sandstone formations in Europe. The white cliffs of Dover, the Seven Sisters, the Old Harry Rocks, Flamborough Head — and on the sandstone side, the Old Man of Hoy and Stack of Handa — together form a 'highlights reel' of coastal geology. Most are National Trust- or RSPB-managed with easy access.
