Cliffs above Samphire Hoe

As seen from the North Downs Way (long distance path) on a cliff top path from Capel-le-Ferne towards Dover. Samphire Hoe is a piece of reclaimed land at the base of the cliffs, made from the spoil from the Channel Tunnel workings.

Samphire Hoe Country Park :: TR2939

Found at the bottom of a section of the White Cliffs of Dover to the West of Dover, the park was created using 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl from the Channel Tunnel excavations.

The park is accessed by car, foot or bicycle through a dark narrow tunnel off the A20.
