Lepe Country Park

About

Lepe Country Park sits on the north‑west coast of the Solent in Hampshire, stretching across a mile of sandy beach, pine‑fringed cliffs and wild‑flower meadows. The park is a living museum of wartime history, with the concrete caissons of the Mulberry Harbour—used in the 1944 D‑Day landings—and remnants of PLUTO pipelines that once carried fuel across the Channel. Visitors can enjoy the Coastal Path along the cliffs, explore the quiet Dark Water estuary, and spot diverse wildlife that calls the beach home. Whether strolling beneath the seagulls, digging for fossils in the dunes, or learning about the park’s role in Operation Overlord, Lepe offers an engaging mix of natural beauty and historical intrigue.
