The walking path runs parallel to the beach, starting from Cap blanc nez to Wissant or vice versa. Beautiful view, in clear weather, on the cliffs of England.

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.

Excavations carried out before the construction of a car park on Mont d'Hubert, near Cap Blanc Nez (Pas-de-Calais), have uncovered the remains of a Middle Neolithic camp (4,200 to 3,800 years before our era). The camp, covering three hectares, surrounded by a ditch and visible from more than thirty kilometers away, has yielded remains of animal and human bones, ceramics and flints.
