Samphire Hoe is a country park situated 2 miles (3 km) west of Dover in Kent in southeast England.

The park was created by using 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl from the Channel Tunnel excavations and is found at the bottom of a section of the White Cliffs of Dover.

[3] The name was coined by Mrs Gillian Janaway, a retired primary school teacher from Dover, by way of a public competition.

[6] In the 1980s the site was deemed the most suitable of 60 proposed to dump chalk from Channel Tunnel excavations, and work began on it in 1988.

Samphire Hoe has been managed by the White Cliffs Countryside Project, in partnership with the owner, Getlink.

The nature trail within the Hoe is tarmac with fine gravel, but the seawall path is made of smooth concrete.

[10] It is now a chalk meadow-land with a number of nationally rare plant species including the early spider orchid.
