Samphire Hoe is a unique country park created from 4.9 million cubic meters of chalk marl excavated during the Channel Tunnel construction. Situated at the base of the White Cliffs, it offers gentle coastal walks, a picnic area, and excellent birdwatching. The park's grasslands and rock pools attract butterflies, wildflowers, and seabirds. It's a tranquil spot for walking, fishing, or simply enjoying the dramatic cliff backdrop.
