    I live minutes from these cliffs and walk along the tops and beach regularly. The area in the video is known as 'Birling Gap', with the old lighthouse at the top of the cliffs known as 'Belle Tout'. The whole lighthouse building was picked up and moved back from the eroding cliff edge when I was a kid (I'm 37 now). Also at the top of the steps down to the beach the row of houses used to have 2 or 3 more homes on the end, but the sea has claimed them one by one! As others have said, Dover is quite a long way east of here, but the cliffs do look very similar! Worth a trip to Dover if you can, as there's a castle on top of the cliffs with a World War 2 bunker underneath and tunnels running through the cliffs (including a balcony which pops out halfway to give a great view across to France). Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in the UK!

    The horizontal bands of dark-colored flint is composed of the remains of sea sponges and siliceous planktonic micro-organisms that hardened into the microscopic quartz crystals.

    Dover is about 70 miles further east from Seven Sisters ! However , they're formed around the same time and SS is considered the more beautiful and dazzling (as in whiter), and indeed have been used in films to substitute for the white cliffs of Dover.

    Great video! Absolutely breathtaking scenery. My sister recently migrated to England, hoping one day I will make the trip and experience this beautiful country!
    And this is what I found on Google around painted sheep and it appears there are several reasons and it all depends from farm to farm:
    a. Once an ewe has lambed, at turnout she and her lamb(s) get the same colour sprayed on their side. If they end up separated, the shepherd is able to match them up again and that helps in reducing the risks of mismothering or lamb death by exposure.
    b. Some milking farms will mark the ones not producing enough or cannot breed.
    c. But if there are some ewes in a flock that have the same colour on their buttox, that usually means they have been jumped on or mated by a ram that has the same colour marker on his underside.
    c. Lastly, it also could be as you said the marking the ownership. Some farms will buy from local auctions, and they are marked at that time.

    What a lovely day you had for your walk along the Sussex chalk downs? Beautiful! Even I was confused - I've been to Dover & it doesn't look like this, but I've seen movies & the White Cliffs are utterly iconic! Thing is, in most of the films the cliffs we see are the wonderful white Chalk cliffs of the Seven Sisters, not the rather dirty cliffs & the town & port of Dover! Seven Sisters cliffs are chalk with some flint - that black rock you picked up which the ancients used for tools. These cliffs are between Brighton & Eastbourne about 80-miles west of Dover. Hopefully you'll get to Brighton as I see they just spent a fortune restoring the Pavilion, & as you are only about an hour away you really can't miss it - you honestly can't!! There are walls painted with gold & platinum & chandeliers to blow your socks off! Happy travels - keep going, you're only scratching the surface (of England!).

    the paint on the sheep and lambs is to match the lambs with the ewes. they also attach paint to the rams so they know when a ewe has been served, differnt colours usually mean different thing.

      @@brandyjean7015 That's right. There was also a much loved wartime song by Vera Lynn (who used to entertain the troops, at home and overseas) called The White Cliffs of Dover.
      Edited to add that Glenn Miller's plane went down in the English Channel, when he was on his way to France to entertain the troops. If Chris gets a chance, I would recommend that he visits the old airbase at Bedford (Twinwood) where Glenn Miller took off from. There is a festival there every August Bank Holiday with all of the old vehicles, Billets, as well as Glenn Miller's nephew and his band to transport you back to the 1940s.

      Chalk is formed from an ancient seabed. Chalk forms from the fragments, of the skeletons of Coccoliths (marine algae, which floated in the surface waters to absorb the sunlight). When the algae die, they sink to the bottom and form a white mud. The mud then gets compressed and compacted over millions of years. Forming chalk. As video is layers were laid down in the Cretaceous period 145.5 to 66 million years ago.
