To get to this ladder, situated just east of the port of Dover, is an adventure. At the top of the ladder there are 35 meters of dark manmade tunnels, carved out initially by smugglers, then reinforced by the army to reach adjacent look-out posts. Above the tunnels, a rocky path zig zags up the White Cliffs of Dover and you reach The National Trust visitor centre. At the bottom of the 7 meter rusty ladder is a small black pebble beach and when the tides out you can make out and walk around the SS Falcon which breached on that very spot in 1926.To get to this ladder, situated just east of the port of Dover, is an adventure.
