Folkestone

Folkestone has had many incarnations – with a Roman, Georgian, Victorian and 20th century wartime history, it’s seen the lot from fashionable seaside resort to modern cultural cool.

Today’s Folkestone is a buzzy town, full of creative outlets and great food, local beers and wine, with plenty to do for all ages – beaches, shops, the world’s first indoor skate park, you name it you can probably do it in Folkestone!

There’s so much to do depending on what you’re into we’ve popped three distinct itineraries below to help you narrow your options:

Folkestone’s fun for families – for the young, and young at heart!

Folkestone’s fashion and fishing – for those who like their shopping with local flair…

Folkestone’s military heritage – one for the curious and history buffs alike…

With so much to do just one trip may not be enough…
