Своё название скалы получили от города дувр, по обе стороны которого они расположены. дуврские скалы яркому цвету видны с французского мыса гри-не («серого мыса») . высота скал достигает 107 м. хотя подобные меловые скалы не редкость для юго-востока , именно дуврские являются наиболее популярными. им посвящено множество произведений.  дуврские белые скалы издавна служили среди моряков символом приближения к берегам . именно белым скалам обязана римским названием «альбион» («albus» — «белый») .
