Britain may not boast the cuisine or wine culture of its cross-channel neighbor, but from their vantage point, the French can gaze upon the beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover, the crown jewels of England's coastline.

Towering at 110 metres and stretching for 8 miles, these chalky wonders were sculpted by ice age floods, leaving behind a striking façade of white chalk accented with streaks of black flint. For over 20 years, a herd of Exmoor ponies has been living their best life on these cliffs, acting as four-legged landscapers keeping the grass in check. If you're ever in the mood for a dramatic, wind-swept frolic à la Brontë heroine (because who isn't, really?), the White Cliffs of Dover await.
