Folkestone Essentials

Folkestone’s landscape is defined by the Leas, a Victorian cliff-top promenade, and the award-winning Lower Leas Coastal Park. The town preserves its history through the 12th-century relics at St Mary and St Eanswythe and the Napoleonic-era Martello Tower 2. Modern culture thrives at the Harbour Arm’s Goods Yard market and the Quarterhouse arts venue. From the Roman Villa ruins at East Cliff to the Art Deco architecture of Leas Cliff Hall, these sites showcase the town’s evolution from a maritime port to a creative coastal hub.
