In the end, almost 5 million cubic yards (4 million m³) of chalk were excavated on the British side, much of which was dumped below Shakespeare Cliff near Folkestone to reclaim 90 acres (0.36 km²) of land from the sea. Called Samphire Hoe, the area is now a popular park. In all, 10.5 million cubic yards (8 million m³) of soil were removed, at an average rate of 2,400 tonnes/hour.

Primarily, it was dumped below Shakespeare Cliff near the town of Folkestone, Shepway, Kent. There, it formed a 90 acre park called Samphire Hoe. The area had previously been part of the sea.
