Samphire Hoe

What's in a name?

http://www.samphirehoe.com/uk/samphire-hoe/place/

Samphire Hoe is named after the wild plant rock samphire that was once collected from the Dover cliffs; its fleshy green leaves were picked in May and pickled in barrels of brine and sent to London, where it was served as a dish to accompany meat. A 'hoe' is a piece of land which sticks out into the sea.[3] 

The name was coined by Mrs Gillian Janaway, a retired English teacher from Dover, by way of a public competition
