Folkestone tourist information
Folkestone, pre-occupied with taking people in and out of England on the ferries, this is a town most just pass through, with its terminus of the Channel Tunnel for those quick trips to France.
Yet it is still a traditional holiday resort with a fishing fleet and fish market, with a grassy promenade known as the Leas which goes across the cliffs with pleasant wooded walks. There is a cliff lift to take you up and down. To the east you can walk past a Martello Tower.
Information Centre in the town.
