Samphire Hoe Country Park, Nature park at White Cliffs, Dover, England
The coastal park spreads across 30 hectares between the White Cliffs of Dover and English Channel, featuring walking paths and marine landscapes.
The land emerged from 4.9 million cubic meters of chalk marl excavated during the Channel Tunnel construction and opened as a park in 1997.
The name originates from rock samphire plants traditionally collected from Dover cliffs and pickled in brine for London's culinary establishments.
The park contains paved pathways, a tea kiosk, exhibition room, and parking facilities, with access through a single-lane tunnel from the A20.
The site houses rare early spider orchids and functions as an observation point for peregrine falcons, European stonechats, and harbor porpoises.
