The Belvedere at Cap Blanc-Nez combines breathtaking views, remarkable nature, and moving war history. Ideal for a short stroll or as part of a longer hike along the Côte d'Opale. There is a parking lot near the Cap Blanc-Nez viewpoint and the Dover Patrol obelisk. (GPX coordinates: 50.924566672947996, 1.715753582037452)

Cape Blanc-Nez

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

This sandstone and clay cliff offers you a breathtaking view of the English Channel, Cape Blanc-Nez, and the bay of Wissant.
