Samphire Hoe's website describes itself as, "...Eurotunnel’s nature reserve created at time of the Channel Tunnel construction at the foot of the famous White Cliffs of Dover in Kent (UK)." A beautiful spot, easy to access, with plenty of parking (£1 for two hours). There is an information centre (which was closed on our visit), a cafe and clean toilets. Picnic benches are scattered around the area. There are two walks. The first is along the human made sea wall (1.7km), and the second is through the protected waterside meadow and grassland. The view is stunning, with abundance of wildlife and sweeping majestic views out across the English Channel and France on a clear day. Roaming sheep and cows were an unexpected surprise. At the end of the meadow is the pebble beach, which extends for approximately another 1.5 kms, nestled under the towering chalk cliffs. If you enjoy the outdoors, photography, bird watching, rambling, and adventuring, you will love this place. Our 8 year old son said "I though it was really really great. I loved running around, seeing animals all around me, the beach was cool, and I loved looking at the massive chalk cliffs!"

Beautiful meadows beneath white cliffs, on the beach, small cafe there - a lovely place to spend a few hours or go for a walk

When the Channel Tunnel was made, all of the mud that was dug out needed to be put somewhere. so they made this area into a nature reserve. ...there is a cafe and visitors centre and also a short walk (20 minutes) is the beautiful beach called Shakespeare's Beach, which you would have to yourself most of the time, with the Cliffs right behind you and the water is very clear. As you walk, you also have a brilliant view of the Channel and the boats heading to France.

Samphire Hoe, the nature reserve of Eurotunnel located between Folkestone and Dover in Kent, is a place for both wildlife to thrive and people to enjoy. To maintain the balance between the two, we ask that people stay on the paths, keep dogs on leads and scoop the poop.

Samphire Hoe is where the spoil from the channel tunnel was put. The country park is small but has some good walks. Very exposed on windy day. There is a small coffee shop with limited drinks and snacks. The site does run wildlife walks and sessions for children.
