Samphire Hoe
Samphire Hoe – have you forgotten just how nice it is?
Samphire Hoe is an area of land at the foot of Dover’s white cliff’s which was created about ten years ago from the spoil from digging-out the channel tunnel.
If, like us, you haven’t visited for some time, then you are in for a real treat!
It has developed into a beautifully managed green oasis.
We visited last week on one of the hottest days of the year so far and were greeted by a lovely cooling onshore breeze.
Standing in the sun, in a large green open space, with the sea sparkling behind you and the white cliffs towering over you it has to be a serious contender for World Heritage status!
Enough words, take a look at the photos of Samphire Hoe – and be sure to pay a visit soon, you’ll be pleased that you did.
There’s a website dedicated to Samphire Hoe.
The only charge is for Parking; from 50p for 30 minutes to £2 for all day.
There’s a snack bar and coffe shop, toilets, and information centre with lots of leaflets to provide you with further information.

Samphire Hoe may well be a beautiful spot to visit and its conservation a worthwhile cause to support, however, I would not recommend the Hoe as a great day out. I visited recently after a year’s break and the toilets are still unclean and overflowing, also the staff have not improved. We were subjected to a very rude, aggressive and intimidating level of shouting from an employee at the kiosk just because I wanted to add my own milk to a cup of tea to ensure it was cool enough for my disabled father to drink. My advice, go somewhere else for the day.
Sorry to hear that your visit was spoiled.
