	A Place for People
	Samphire Hoe is an amazing place made from the material dug to create the Channel Tunnel. There is something for everybody; a stunning location, peace and quiet, walks, wildflowers, birds, sea angling and picnics. The further you go from the car park the wilder the site becomes.
	Much of the Hoe is accessible for wheelchair users. The recommended route follows the front path, from the front path signposted 'west shore via the Hoe' passing through the chicane. The full circuit is 2km, the section through the Hoe is tarmac with fine gravel, the sea wall is smooth concrete. The average gradient is 1:15 with some steeper sections and occassional cross slopes maximum 1:25.
	The site office provides a tea kiosk, which is open every weekend of the year and most days from Easter to September. There are toilet facilities including an easy access loo and baby change. Staff and volunteers are present to answer questions. There are free leaflets, and an information board, and panels with the latest wildlife sightings.
	With over a mile of sea wall there is always plenty of room for sea angling. Day and season tickets are available from the tea kiosk. For more details contact 01304 225688.
