difficult to walk, but beautiful

The rocks, with their cracks and small caves in the calcareous wall, provide an important nesting site for numerous bird species such as jackdaws, house martins, fulmars, kestrels, gulls, terns and herring gulls. As part of a renaturation project in 2006, a section of the asphalt road leading to the summit and the parking spaces there were completely removed. Instead, a parking lot about 300 meters inland was significantly expanded.

The obelisk crowns a 133-meter-high ensemble on a pedestal that can be seen from afar. It is THE landmark to reach to enjoy a 360° panorama from the top of the cliffs of Cap Blanc Nez. When the German army took possession of the Opal Coast in May 1940, this monument was immediately destroyed. The current Dover Patrol dates from the early 1960s. The last restoration took place in 2007. Source: https://www.calaisxxl.com/de/offres/a-voir-a-faire/monument-a-la-dover-patrol/

The Cap Blanc-Nez War Memorial (Dover Patrol Monument) is a major war memorial erected on the cliffs of Cap Blanc-Nez, near Sangatte. It honours the British naval forces and the Dover Patrol, a key unit of the Royal Navy that secured the Straits of Dover during the First and Second World Wars.

The Petit Blanc-Nez is a highlight on the Sentier des Douaniers (GR 120), a coastal hiking trail that runs along the French coast.

The Petit Blanc-Nez is a cliff in the Pas-de-Calais region and is part of the Deux-Caps (Two Capes) area, which also includes Cap Gris-Nez. Both are part of the protected area classified as a Grand Site de France and offer breathtaking views of the English Channel and, on a clear day, the English coast.

The Dover Patrol was a Royal Navy command during World War I, whose main task was to prevent German ships, mainly submarines, from crossing the Channel into the Atlantic Ocean. It consisted of several naval ships and aircraft, and performed various tasks, including anti-submarine patrols, escorting ships, laying and clearing naval mines, and bombing German military positions. After the war, memorials were erected in memory of the Dover Patrol in various locations including Dover, Cap Blanc-Nez and New York.

Cap Blanc-Nez is an impressive cliff located in Escalles, Pas-de-Calais, France, rising to 134 meters above a rocky beach. It is the northernmost cliff in France, consisting of chalk and marl. It offers a strategic vantage point from which on a clear day you can see the cliffs of Dover on the English coast. The area supports a unique grassland and is a popular destination for tourists and hikers. It is part of the Grand Site des Deux Caps, together with Cap Gris-Nez, and attracts 2.5 million visitors annually. It also has historical significance, with remains from the Second World War still visible.
