Samphire Hoe


The chalk cliffs at Dover form a vital element of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - a Nationally Important and protected landscape.

Samphire Hoe is one of the few places that you can truly appreciate the drama of the White Cliffs. Great care has been taken to make the landscape at Samphire Hoe fit in this dramatic setting.


Samphire Hoe is the newest part of Kent, made from 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl dug to create the Channel Tunnel.




Samphire Hoe is owned by Eurotunnel and managed in partnership with the White Cliffs Countryside Project.
