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'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!"

Created from spoil dug out of the Channel when the Tunnel went through, this new bit of England is the perfect place to see the White Cliffs from close up, get the sea air into your lungs and hear the roar of the waves against the cliffs. On a windy day, it has to be heard to be believed. Great birdwatching community here, and flowers and plants that have arrived on the space are noted on the entrance boards. Free, but you pay a little for the parking.

Stunning location, outstanding scenery, walks, wildflowers, birds, sea angling, picnics, peace and quiet. The park was created by using 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl from the Channel Tunnel excavations and covers a 30-hectare site at the foot of the famous Shakespeare Cliff, between Dover and Folkestone.
