You can hardly call this place overlooked - at least by one sense
of the meaning. Its slap bang at the top of the local area. Not
much overlooks this place. But many people do!
Many drive by on the A20, but few realise that this area exists at
all.
Many know of Langdon cliffs, overlooking the Eastern Docks Ferry
Terminal.... but thankfully this area is fairly quiet by
comparison.
You are looking for a small cache in the ruins of one of the old
lookout posts from WW2.
PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL IN THE CACHE LOCATION AREA.
WITHIN 10' OF THE AREA BE VERY CAREFUL INDEED. EDGE OF CLIFF AND
THE REMAINS OF THE LOOKOUT POST IN THE GRASS (INCLUDING DROPS).
TAKE IT SLOWLY.
IF YOU STICK TO THE TRAILS YOU WILL BE OK. BUT THE LAST LEG OF
THE TRAIL WILL TAKE YOU RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE WHITE CLIFFS.
STAY ON THE TRAILS UNTIL WITHIN 25' OF THE CACHE.
SOME OF THE TRAIL IS CLOSE TO THE CLIFF EDGE, SO I ADVISE
AGAINST NIGHT CACHING.
FOR THIS REASON - I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS CACHE FOR
CHILDREN
Once you have completed this cache, you can continue onwards
towards Capel-le-ferne where you will find some more caches by
other local cachers, or you can return and attempt some more of our
Dover Trail caches. There are also gun placements and accessible
lookout posts/bunkers up on these cliffs - but please take care. As
always!
There is also an underground bunker (located in the private field
beside this site), from world war two - which is still fully intact
- but alas, not accessible by the general public. You can read up
about it and this site on the Subterranea Britannica website
(visit link) or

Enjoy the cache. Please remain safe!
