Cap Blanc Nez


Cap Blanc Nez is one of two headlands on the Cote d Opale.

The other is Cap Gris Nez you can find the details on another page on the website.

In photo one you can see the monument at the top of the cliff.

There was quite a lot of sea mist when we took the picture.

In photo you can see some of the great views from the cliff down the beach.

There is a public walk you can take along the cliffs.

You can park your car close to the edge and then take the path up to the top.



Walkers climbing the Cap

cap blanc nez picture 3

If you have plenty of energy you can walk the 1/2 mile to the top.

Like the people in the third photo but it is a steep climb.

If not you can drive to the top to the other car park just 50 yards from the top.

The view is well worth the trip.
