Perched on the south-eastern coast of England, in the verdant county of Kent lies the charming and historically rich town of Folkestone. Known for its unique blend of cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and bustling town centre, Folkestone is a town with a story to tell.
Historically, Folkestone's significance stretches back to Roman times, when it served as an important harbour town. Over the centuries, it has seen the passage of kings, the arrival of pilgrims, the growth of its fishing industry, and the ebb and flow of maritime trade. Today, it is home to a thriving community and serves as a beacon to visitors from across the globe, drawn by its rich history and inviting seaside charm.
Folkestone's geographical features are as varied as they are beautiful. From the rugged cliffs of the Warren, offering panoramic views of the English Channel, to the Lower Leas Coastal Park with its serene beach and ample recreational space, the town's natural assets are a sight to behold. Among its notable landmarks, the Victorian Leas Lift, a water-balanced funicular railway, and the Kent Battle of Britain Museum, the oldest established and largest collection of Battle of Britain artefacts in the UK, stand prominent.

This treasure trove of gold coins is one of the largest hoards of its kind ever found in Britain, providing invaluable insights into the trading and economic systems of the Roman era. Moreover, Folkestone was also the location of a significant Bronze Age settlement, further cementing its importance in the annals of British archaeological history.
Wikipedia Says
Folkestone ( FOHK-stn) 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, shipping port and fashionable coastal resort for most part of the 19th and mid 20th centuries. There has been a settlement in this location since the Mesolithic era. A nunnery was founded by Eanswith, granddaughter of Æthelberht of Kent in the 7th century, who is still commemorated as part of the town's culture. During the 13th century it subsequently developed into a seaport and the harbour developed during the early 19th century to provide defence against a French invasion. Folkestone expanded further west after the arrival of the railway in 1843 as an elegant coastal resort, thanks to the investment of the Earl of Radnor under the urban plan of Decimus Burton. In its heyday during the Edwardian era Folkestone was considered the most fashionable resort of the time, visited by royalties amongst them Queen Victoria and Edward VII and other members of the English aristocracy. The architecture of the town, especially in the West End part of the town is a testimony of this period with many impressive buildings, townhouses, villas, private squares and large hotels built to accommodate the gentry. After two world wars and the boom of the overseas holiday package, the town quickly declined. The harbour's trade diminished following the opening of the nearby Channel Tunnel and the ending of ferry services from Folkestone, but it still remains in active use.
