Samphire Hoe - Samphire Hoe Walk - Walks In Kent
Samphire Hoe was created from the waste material left over when the channel tunnel was dug. It was deposited in the area known as Lower Shakespeare Cliff then landscaped to make the impressive place it is today. In 1994 a competition was launched to find a new name for the site, out of the hundreds of entries the judges chose Samphire Hoe.
The area has something to
offer everyone; anglers, sightseers, cyclists and bird watchers, if you
just want to walk there are paths to follow and the further you get away
from the car park the more interesting and wild the place becomes with
rare plants such as Early Spider Orchid and Rock Samphire. Skylarks
and Meadow Pipits are nesting and feeding in the grasslands and Mallards
are to be seen in the wetlands. There is also over a mile of sea wall for
the sea angler, day and season tickets are available.
Samphire Hoe is owned and
managed in partnership with White Cliffs Countryside Project and is easily
accessible by car and there is a bus service that stops nearby. Access by
car is via a tunnel through the cliffs. You can reach the tunnel from the
A20 driving in the direction of Dover
to Folkestone following the signs for Samphire Hoe. The cliff top
