The White Cliffs of Dover are cliffs which form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliffs are part of the North Downs formation. The cliff face, which reaches up to 110 m, owes its striking facade to its composition of chalk accentuated by streaks of black flint. The cliffs spread east and west from the town of Dover in the county of Kent, an ancient and still important English port.

Went to Archers Bay on the north coast of the island with the intent of getting some shots of the rocks in the afternoon sun, when I turned around and saw this scene.
Goes to show that it is worth looking behind you.
Martha’s Vineyard has lots to see including a National Historic Landmark, the spectacular Aquinnah Cliffs which are part of the Wampanoag Reservation land. These dramatically striated walls of red clay are one of the island's major attractions. You can see the Elizabeth Islands to the northeast across Vineyard Sound and Nomans Land Island, a wildlife preserve, 3 miles off the Vineyard's southern coast.
Villa Gregoriana is a park located in Tivoli, Italy. It is maintained by the Fondo Ambiente Italiano (FAI), which gives free entry to its members and to members of the UK's National Trust.
The park, located at the feet of the city's ancient acropolis, was commissioned by Pope Gregory XVI in 1835 to rebuild the bed of the Aniene River, which had been damaged by the flood of 1826. Since ancient times, the river formed a wide curve around the acropolis, after which it fell from a limestone's spur into the plain below. The river formed originally four falls, now reduced to two. The site had a strategical importance since it commanded the route from Abruzzo along the road which later become the Via Valeria. The Romans had already built here hydraulic pumps, 12 of which are known by findings today.
It had fallen into ruins by the end of the 20th century, but was reopened to the public in 2005 thanks to a major landscape recovery project orchestrated by the FAI, the Italian National Trust.
Villa Gregoriana consists mainly of thick woodlands with paths that lead to the caves of Neptune and the Sirens, which form part of a series of gorges and cascades, and to the Great Waterfall.
