Despite the freezing cold weather, England does have some gorgeous views. Here, they have some of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen. Today we went to Dover Castle, which overlooks the English Channel. One may know this location for the cliffs of Dover, which are made of beautiful, white limestone. The views from here are absolutely breathtaking. We climbed to the top of the tower of the castle, where we able to see for miles! Across the channel, we could see the coastline of France, which was useful to them in order to oversee their attackers. We also were able to see the beautiful, green countryside. The castle overlooked the town which was so quaint and charming. We went on the most beautiful of days. The sun was shining down upon me and there were barely any clouds in the sky, which seems as a rarity here. We definitely don't see sites like these back home. 
As I say with most days, today was a great day! I loved Dover Castle and the cliffs of Dover. It was rich with history and beauty, dating back to the 11th century. I felt as if I could spend the whole day exploring the castle and the magnificent grounds. There are hiking trails that run for miles along the coast. We had the pleasure of spending a few minutes along the coast line where we were able to dip our feet in the English Channel, if those were brave enough to bear the freezing water. As said before today was definitely a delight and I hope to one day return and explore this wonderful gem, perhaps on a warmer day.
