Rouen France to London UK

It is an interesting place to stop and go for a walk and read about the history of tunnel attempts here over the years since 1881. It wasn't until 1987 that the French and English finally agreed to work together to create the current successful rail tunnel. The name 'Samphire Hoe'??? Rock Samphire is a plant on the Dover Cliffs (below) that can be cooked and eaten a little like asparagus BUT don't try it for yourself as there are similar poisonous plants and it is protected. Hoe is old English for ridge or an area of land projecting into the sea.
