South Foreland is a chalk headland on the Kent coast of southeast England. It presents a bold cliff to the sea, and commands views over the Strait of Dover. It is northeast of Dover and 15 miles south of North Foreland. It is the closest point on the British mainland to the European continent at a distance of only . This proximity gives it military significance and during World War II a coastal battery was sited on the headland along with a radar station. Lying between the busy port of Dover and the deadly Goodwin Sands, the two lighthouses were important for navigation but both have now been retired. Much of the area is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public; it is traversed by the Saxon Shore Way. ==Lighthouses== (詳細はNational Trust property, which went out of service in 1988).〔(National Trust: South Foreland location )〕
