Green Gang: Samphire Hoe Rockpooling

Event Date: 26/08/2024 11:00 - 13:00

Take a gentle walk across Samphire Hoe towards the beach and prepare to explore the life within the rock pools. We’ll find crabs, shrimp and if we’re quick maybe even fish!

Office Number: 01304 225649
Meeting Point: by the rangers hut.

Wellies or water shoes (even trainers you don’t mind getting wet) and a change of clothes is advised.

£2 parking all day, coins preferable as signal can be poor to pay by RingGo.

Children must be accompanied at all times. Due to limited spaces we appreciate only one adult accompanying each child during the event. Please note each ticket booked is for one child plus one accompanying adult.

We have three donation ticket options available and all money raised will go back into our conservation work across sites as well as ensuring the continuation of our events. All three ticket options are identical in everything except price and once 20 in total have sold the event will be full.

Event Location - Samphire Hoe

Please note the tea kiosk is temporarily closed until further notice. 

Samphire Hoe Country Park was created at the foot of Shakespeare Cliff between Folkestone and Dover using chalk marl dug to create the Channel Tunnel. Opened in 1997 as a nature reserve and country park it is now a haven for wildlife and a centre for outdoor learning and events.

Habitats on site include chalk grassland, sea buckthorn scrub, ponds, rockpools and a pebble beach. Paths and a cycle route allow you to explore the site and a tea kiosk and indoor exhibition room with seating can be found near the car park.

The North Downs Way runs along the cliff top and links the site to Folkestone Warren Local Nature Reserve to the west.

We manage Samphire Hoe on behalf of Eurotunnel. For more information visit the Samphire Hoe website.
