    Run to the ruins of a fort built by Henry VIII on Cap Gris-Nez, the closest point from France to England and dating back to the 16th century. It was part of a series of fortifications built by the English king to defend the coast against the French and Spanish. You can see the remains of the wall and the moat, and appreciate the view of the Strait of Dover and the White Cliffs of Dover.
