FOLKESTONE Kent UK 2021 - Folkestone Creative Quarter & Harbour Walk 4K

Join us for a walk in Folkestone, Kent, UK. We explore Folkestone's Creative Quarter with it's brightly painted independent shops and cafes, and after leisurely strolling down the cobbled Old High Street, we reach the Harbour Inn and Harbour fountains. Our walk continues along Folkestone Harbour to The Folkestone Mermaid, a life-size, life-cast sculpture, sat on a rock overlooking Sunny Sands Beach. Our walk then takes us along The Stade, finishing by Rocksalt restaurant with views of Folkestone Harbour.

Folkestone is a port town on the English Channel, in Kent, south-east England. The town lies on the southern edge of the North Downs at a valley between two cliffs. It was an important harbour and shipping port for most of the 19th and 20th centuries. The harbour's use has diminished since the opening of the nearby Channel Tunnel and stopping of local ferry services, but still remains in active use. Folkestone is the English terminus of the Channel Tunnel.

Folkestone's vibrant Creative Quarter in the heart of Folkestone is the perfect place to explore, with a host of shops, galleries, studios and venues offering music, theatre and entertainment.

The Creative Quarter includes some of Folkestone's most historic streets, and is just a short wander from the sea. The Old High Street is a winding, cobbled lane lined with independent shops, galleries and eateries, while Tontine Street is a busy thoroughfare to the centre of the town.

It is a fantastic example of creatively-led regeneration and is a destination in its own right, offering opportunities to shop till you drop, feast on delicious food or simply take in the beauty of the town.

The Old High Street is an ancient route connecting the Bayle with the Harbour now at the heart of Folkestone's Creative Quarter. The narrow, cobbled slope was one of Charles Dickens' favourite streets. Together with Rendezvous street, this part of Folkestone is now thriving with independent businesses and restaurants surrounded by colourful restored buildings .
