it’s here that you’ll find The Coastguard – Britain’s closest pub to France and an idea spot for breakfast (lunch, or dinner) by the beach. At low tide, explore the rockpools for fossils and enjoy the awe-inspiring White Cliffs of Dover from sea level.

These sound or noise mirrors (sound mirrors) were created in the late 1920s, i.e. the time between the two world wars. Although they make the passing hiker think of a modern sculpture today, they were by no means planned and erected as art objects, but had a military background: the inwardly curved surface was intended - like a radio telescope - to absorb the noises coming from the sea , giving early warning of surprise enemy aircraft attacks.

An acoustic mirror is a passive device used to reflect and focus (concentrate) sound waves. Parabolic acoustic mirrors are widely used in parabolic microphones to pick up sound from great distances, employed in surveillance and reporting of outdoor sporting events. Pairs of large parabolic acoustic mirrors which function as "whisper galleries" are displayed in science museums to demonstrate sound focusing. Between the World Wars, before the invention of radar, parabolic sound mirrors were used experimentally as early-warning devices by military air defence forces to detect incoming enemy aircraft by listening for the sound of their engines.
