The money being generated by this monstrosity of a company, you'd of thought that by now they would have brought new train carriages for drivers with fully working air conditioning a refreshments bar to get a drink or 2, but no this is euro tunnels cattle mover for freight drivers, though cattle get much better conditions in transit, mooo moo ⛔️❗️❗️❗️❗️

every year it gets worse and worse. the amount of time you have to spend on check-ins, etc., keeps getting longer being already in the queue and waiting to board the train, it turns out that we will be going much later than according to the schedule in the application. Many times there are long queues and the train is only or maybe half full. the toilets smelly and very dirty. no water is standard.

Great logistics on moving the volume of freight, reduce the train availability per hour from 4 down to 2 ! Now that should clear the queues ! Great planning 😡😡😡😡😡😡

2 hour delay on euro tunnel was not impressed other than that great journey as usual

Effortless, quick and reliable transfer. Friendly staff

Nice facilities but their time tracking is not accurate. There was hardly anyone in today, we followed the indications to the letter. What happened? Slow passport control and pointless security control, and we missed our train. If this was an airport, the airlines would go out of business.

We were travelling to Belguim. The booking was simple and the arrival procedures were effortless. We visited the duty free and food hall. We were given uptodate advise on our duty free entitlement. The WC was visited which was clean and well maintained. The trips were effortless.

Sometimes it’s brilliant, sometimes it’s not. Completely random. I gave four stars because it has got better I think.

Delays possible (imminent 2hrs ) but thanks for being there, thanks for talking to us and letting us know! Thanks to all the staff border force Douanne, Control Frontaliers terminal staff for keeping it together in the horrible weather and making it possible to travel Bonne fêtes de fin d'année - Happy New year!

Merry Christmas!

A stunning area to do some recreational fishing. Plenty of nice eateries and places to get drinks. Easy to park, a real good day out!

We were very lucky that the weather was good. Good parking. Everywhere was lovely and clean. Lot's of options for food. There was a live band which added a great atmosphere.

Beautiful stress free day in the sun nit very crowded, had some fresh food on the harbour and a long walk, recommended to everyone that wants to escape the concrete jungle

A very unique centre which offers the perfect viewing platform for the White cliffs of Dover, boasts a number of culinary options including a pub based in a light house, various vendors including the big Greek Bus, it also provided a great solution to re-using an old train station and turning it into an arts and culture centre as well as a gateway / entrance to the harbour arm. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful place to spend on a sunny day. Great views of the channel, and a lovely stretch of shingle beach. Water was clear, warm and inviting.

A super place to visit if you're in town any time of the year. The restored train station and railway lines add a certain charm to the place, and the old wagons and units have been integrated imaginatively as bars, bistros and cafés. There's plenty to enjoy for everyone, from putting mini golf to a weekend food court come market.

So lovely to see care and money being spent on Folkestone! Lovely walk along the harbour arm with some quirky pop up eateries dotted around.

Great place for a stroll lots of food choices, little shops and entertainment. A really smart conversion from a dilapidated ferry terminal and train sidings to a vibrant full of life vistor attraction! Just watch toddlers as the fencing into the harbour is not kid proof!

Really enjoyed our (very windy) walk along the harbour arm. The eateries weren't open, but can imagine it gets busy on a weekend. The views and scenery were lovely. Really liked that the old train station has been kept and maintained.

I really enjoyed the visit to Folkstone .Great use of the old train station and platform. Eclectic mix of food and drink stalls. Live music.Huge screen showing the football. Amazing views across Folkestone. Look forward to our next visit.

Get place to meet friends. Loads of different vendors for food and drink. Little putting green to play on. Big car park, but when we arrived it was full and took ages to find parking elsewhere. Great afternoon out if the weather's good.

Lovely walk down the harbour arm. Great pub right at the end in the old light house. Lovely place to take dogs as in winter they can go on the beach too. My dog loves the sea, no matter how cold it might be. 🤦‍♂️

I love to visit this place. Highly recommended. I feel relax whenever I go to Folkestone, Harbour and beach. Especially on sunny day. Fun, music, food etc. You can also enjoy live ferries leaving Dover for Calais.

Excellent stalls in the marketplace. Which is open weekends and some stalls on Fridays too. Stalls open also during school holidays. Excellent range of food available enough the goods yard along with huge screen for sporting events. Live music, details of which can be found on the harbour arm website. Some excellent artists are performing free in a great setting. Carparking available, although an easy walk across the harbour from the town and old high street. Well worth a visit.

Bright and breezy (very breezy!) Sunday afternoon to visit to the Harbour Arm, luckily the autumnal rain kept at bay. Shared a fab K-Chicken Bao Bun from Baoboba whilst my daughter enjoyed her Apple and Cherry Bob's Tea. Wanted to grab a drink but my daughter (her again!) insisted on going to DessertFolks for S'Mores Cookie and Mint Ice-cream; the cookie was huge and very, very good!

Great place for sea side walks with lots of food and drink vendors and a small market. Beautiful views of the cliffs and surrounding areas and lot of boats to watch.

What a great place to take the kids out. We were on a short holiday to Dover and found this gem whilst searching online. Has everything from the sea, beach, fantastic huts and architecture and a fabulous play area with lots of activities for all ages.

A wonderful place for a walk, photography or just relax.

Beautiful Park with sea shore. You can spend all-day there without boring. Toilet 🚺 available (close at 8pm summer time) Cafe available ( close at 5 pm) We like ❤️ it. Recommended with your family

Beautiful area and hikes around the coast. Quite warm on the day, so plenty of water was needed. Quite enjoyed our time. Really cute seating areas around the paths.

well worth a visit, wheelchair friendly, toilets and ice cream parlour. Squirrels eat from your hand. Interesting wooden seating and a wonderful wooden ship. Great children’s adventure park and lots of seating / picnic areas for the family.

Lovely walk through the gardens, can take dogs too and can drop down onto the beach. Play area and sand pit for kids. Toilets and a great cafe too. Can get very busy at weekends during the summer months. But great walk.

Folkestone Coastal Park is a true gem! The breathtaking coastal views, tranquil atmosphere, and well-maintained paths make it the perfect place for a relaxing escape. The combination of greenery and sea is truly rejuvenating. Whether you're taking a leisurely stroll or enjoying a picnic with loved ones, this park offers something for everyone. The facilities are clean, and the kids play area is just icing on the cake. I can't recommend Folkestone Coastal Park enough – it's a must-visit for anyone seeking natural beauty and serenity.

This park is a heavenly place for adults and children as well. Just next to the Folkstone beach it adds alot to its charm and beautiful scenery. Benches are there for adults to sit and relax. Adventurous and amazing swings here are highly loved by children. Visit once atleast then you will never stop going there. An oce creams and drinks’ shop is at the entrance of this park. The zigzag path that leads to this park from the top of the hill is unforgettable. Highly recommend. This is the my favourite park so far since I have explored Kent.

Had a wonderful walk in this park, that runs parallel to the sea front. Parked easily in the car park and ambled past some lovely flower beds - plenty of seating choices - and children's play area to the toilets at the other end. Sign said ice-cream 🍦, but I didn't have any room to investigate, sorry!

Once in the park area, out of the wind, the weather was pleasant! The wooden play area is looking a bit sorry for itself, tunnels and rope bridges cornered off, hopefully due to safety! Otherwise a great place to take the kids. New pirate ship added, which is great. We walked up the Zig Zag path to see the views of the Amphitheatre as well as Mermaids tail, out to the sea. Very nice view.

We didn’t expect to see such a great views in the end of October. When I shared that pictures with friends they don’t believe it’s England:))

This is great outdoor playground for the kids. There are 3 sections with different things in each, with 1 main area that has slides, wobble bridges and zip lines. Found along the coast line, it's a lovely walk with great views. My kids had an amazing time and didn't want to leave.

Awesome place to take children that can play unassisted. There is one main play area, with slides and a couple of smaller ones next to it, including a pirate ship and a spider web. You have to walk to it. You can park in the lower lees carpark (starts at £3 an hour!!!) And walk to the play park (wheelchair and pushchair friendly walk if you park here). Alternatively you can park near the promenade and walk up to the play park. You can push a pushchair, if you have the strength!!!

Visited while on holiday and had a fantastic time, staff were very helpful and plenty too see. The lady who took me to get some photos was fantastic and very helpful. Loads too see and a big must when your in the area I would highly requemend seeing this place. I agree with why your not allowed to take photos in the main hangers out of respect of those who thought during the war etc, was nice to see a vast amount of British and German war planes etc and war items. The cafe on site was a fairly priced and the staff were very helpful ! Highly recommended.

A wonderful museum. Huge amount of exhibits from the Battle of Britain era. Lots of aircraft. All very well presented. Lovely onsite cafe and the food is very reasonably priced.

This must be put on visitors bucket lists. This is the most amazing museum. I have been back three times and i have still not read everything. The whole museum is a very humbling experience and there are endless life stories of both British and German pilots, all so young and who sacrificed their young lives for what really? For their countries but in the end for nothing because in War there are no winners. There is just a waste of lives, heartache and destruction. May they all RIP. But one will find SO many interesting stories and see artifacts from downed planes and personal items of the pilots and much more.. The Volunteers are so friendly and helpful and will answer all your questions. There is a very interesting shop where a person can buy Cds. DVD,s books and alot more and a really nice little restaurant in the grounds and very clean and hygenic toilets. If one gets tired then there are benches outside where you can relax. There is a type 22 Pill box in its original position, a 1940 dig for victory garden which has its very own Anderson Shelter and original RAF Hawkinge Lamp Post to say the least. If you visit, you will neef at least 4 hours to read everything. Really worth it.

It was such an amazing place with beautiful views, we were very impressed and I highly recommended it. The museum is the oldest established and largest cillection of Battle of Britain artefacs on show in the country. It is in Folkestone and is privately run by enthusiasts and volunteers as a charitable trust.

Great range of exhibits, the cafe as a basic but very tasty and well priced priced. Admission was reasonably priced, although they don't offer a carers ticket. On the downside, if you use a mobility scooter, which I do, then the toilet is not accessible. The museum offer to transfer you to a wheelchair which for me was not ideal. For the majority you will have a pleasant couple of hours exploring the history of the few.

Great day out & very educational for my young son, was amazing to see his face when I explained everything to him & how young these brave men where, not much older then he is. A very humbling experience would highly recommend. Great staff that looked after our motorbike gear for us, then let us take pictures standing next to the planes, thanks to everyone who works there, especially the reception staff, the canteen staff & the old chap who took us round to take the pictures.

An Extraordinary Museum on the history of those who flew at the enemy for us in September 1940. One visit is just not enough - believe me. Go find the museum within the new development of Hawkinge on the old airfield land. Good parking and a friendly welcome. £9.00 for seniors all day. A very nice and quaint cafe onsite rusting up cooked food all day and all recommended. Even the home baked cakes are delicious. If it's sunny sit outside but plenty of cover otherwise. A treat. You are now presented with such a vast detail array of exhibits from aeroplanes to vehicles and items all relating to Battle of Britain. For me such a detailed report of every pilot and if killed finding attifants from each ground crash. A second visit is a must to read and take in all they offer NO PHONES allowed, no cameras allowed due to loaned items of great interest and value. Easy to do just leave in car or in safe box at reception. If you want an external photo The volunteer staff will escort and take your picture. Everything's so well laid out it's a definite 5 Star venue. Well done everyone at Hawkinge

The lovely bright, keen young men pictured going into airborne battle contrast depressingly with row upon row of crashed/excavated aerial engines... . Not recommended unless you're a) a WW2 aircraft geek, b) a devoted veteran/family of one/historian or c) accompanying one of the above and prepared to be numbed by sheer quantity of memorialised twisted metal for a not-inconsiderable entrance fee. Oh, for some forward-looking, future-orientated and realistic project to enthuse!

We took our grandsons here as they will be doing WW2 next term at school. They are 8 year olds who were fascinated by the exhibitions. Sadly, and, I really don't know why, we were not able to take our phones into the exhibition halls. The boys were keen to take details of individuals who fought, died and survived the war. A photo of an airman together with the write up would have proved an excellent study tool. They had intended to take the history of an airmen from both sides, to show that all airmen that flew were brave not just those of the Royal Air Force, and Hawkinge does this so brilliantly! We did take notes and with the use of the internet were able to get the home work done...When we had finished, Tom a volunteer accompanied us to the outside exhibits and we were then allowed to take some photos. I would highly recommend this museum. The volunteers are knowledgeable, some more keen than others to share with the kids, we were lucky that Tom understood the needs of 8 year olds, he wasn't patronising, he spoke to them as equals sharing his love of the aircraft and the men who flew them.

A fabulous and most interesting museum. I think you could easily spend the whole day taking in the exhibits and absorbing the atmosphere of this once active BoB airfield. The museum is fantastically laid out, and the outside space is very neat and tidy. The recent additions of the Heinkel and Junkers are brilliant, and so much work has been taken on by the volunteers to get them restored and repainted. I can’t wait for my next visit.

So many points of interest and artifacts to see. The exhibits on the outside are in as original condition and a real pleasure to see. Good facilities, good disabled access Free parking. Staff very well informed and happy to help with questions. Well stocked gift shop with loads to buy Nice cafe. Free parking. No in supervised photography and even then only on the outside exhibits. Very respectful. Overall well worth a visit Highly recommended

Great little museum. Lots on show. Spitfire's of course but several German aircraft as well. Also vehicles, weapons, uniforms and more. Lots of interesting information about people and events back in the day. Very good value for money and reasonable ticket prices. Friendly helpful staff and a nice little gift shop. Be aware that unfortunately you can't take in cameras or phones to take photos inside. But they will let you take pictures of the outside exhibits including several aircraft.

Was an unplanned visit I’m so glad we stopped. Here was a real nice experience with lots of history and artefacts. Please be aware that you cannot take your phone into the main part of the museum. They do ask leave it in the car or they have lockers. If you do wish to take some photographs of the planes in the outside area a member of staff will come out with you. A nice gentleman came and showed us round the planes up close, and it felt like we had our own private tour. They also have their own on-site café. The ladies that were running the café was super friendly as well. We was also quite lucky that a Spitfire was flying over the museum while we was there.

Absolutely unforgettable experience. The amount of memorabilia and items in these museum is impossible to be properly seen even if you spend there whole day!! It's not possible to take pictures inside the museum but you are welcome to take few outside. Definitely would be back!! And the volunteers working here are real gem!!

Love visiting the museum, normally go at least twice a year. There are so many historical items from the Battle of Britain, and so much information to go with it. There are lots of benches to sit down on your way round just to take in everything you see. The onsite cafe is brilliant. Lots of meals ,snacks,and drinks to choose from. The site and its volunteers are all amazing. It's well worth a visit.

The Museum was set out very well, I could have spent longer there than what I did. Very interesting exhibits, to see it all properly you would probably need 3 or 4 hours. They have a Cafe, all the staff were helpful and friendly. If R.A.F. history is your thing, this Museum is well worth a visit

Entrance cost expensive at £10 pp for what is on offer. Your phone is confiscated on entry which I've never experienced before. Nothing at all to interest children. The cafe is nice as is the food on offer at reasonable prices but the cafe and gift shop are only accessible on entry to the museum.

Absolutely love this quarter! Well worth a visit. From the off the wall sheep hanging from the ceiling at R&R workshop to the fabulous treasure trove that is Moda! Just take note most galleries are closed on Monday but the other shops are still well worth a visit. Spoilt for choice from a tapas bar to quirky coffee shops . Folkestone's Creative quarter is destination station to add to your holiday list.

Steep narrow street with lots of amazing small shops and galleries. Worth a look if you don't mind the steep slope...

Wonderful range of shops and businesses need to visit again when we have more time. Real arty vibe to the whole area and looks like probably lots of studio space

Very interesting place that offers a variety of things to choose from. The food us also particularly good. The only drawback is it closes very early considering that it's a tourist spot.

Never been to Folkestone before but would definitely go again. Loved the Creative Quarter with quirky independent shops and great bakeries and cafes. If you can get some of the local Dockers bread, do it, it's the most delicious bread ever!

Amazing place that offers a variety of photos and pictures to choose from. very friendly manager helped me a lot till I found what I need.

Great vibes all around and some nice restaurants

A very small sandy beach, but fun had by all even with the tide in!

Beautiful place to watch the sunset Nd go for a walk.

Beautiful beach but it is extremely small and gets really busy. Not worth it if you aren't looking to be along crowds

Toilets, restaurants and hotels all nearby. We love it!!

This beach is absolutely stunning. We loved the fact it had sand and no pebbles. There were also lots of shops around. Toilets were also nearby. The local area also had lots of fish and chip shops. Pay and display parking was really close to the beach. There was also an adventure island near by with lots of different rides.

This beach is beautiful with Sandy beaches, the beach is small but the sea is like be in a cup of water. Is best by the shops and the harbour. Not sure if generally the water is clean around them but is very picturesque spot. You have to walk around the bridge is very iconic

Lovely place to visit and enjoy the sea and beaches ⛱️ ❤️💕👍👌✨️ Sunny Sands is one of my favourite beach, great view❤️💕👍👌✨️

Beautiful sandy beach with a Mermaid statue overlooking it. Many arches all along the beach that people can use. The harbour arm is opposite it with the beautiful view of the lighthouse and the writing, Folkestone. There is many facilities on the harbour side plus access to the hill on the opposite end.

A comfy place to enjoy seashore views and sunrises!

Best to visit this place is on a sunny day. You can either hike or just take a stroll at the beach.. No much of sand when it is a high tide.. Plenty of seafood choices available at various shacks and many restaurants and pubs too!! You can try kayaking too as they provide this facility!! Good place to visit with family and friends..

Beautiful colourful town. Very polite and friendly locals that I spoken randomly met at the street asking for guidance. The Sandy beach isn’t as big as it shows at some’s picture on google-I think this picture is at low tide. My picture is at Half way high tide was in it’s way, nearly fully high. When tide is full hight - the sandy beach disappears about is 2/3 ( more then half ) The sand is very soft and firm, pleasant to walk or play for kids. At this small beach mostly families with children. There is 2 public toilets, both open until about 6-7pm. ( times might get change visited on 24.June2020) Next to harbour arm though it is Train station , but it is entrance to “Harbour arm “ restaurateur old station made as a park - beautiful. What a good idea and so unusual. There is other Massive stony beach. Tide doesn’t affect as it is gets deeper within few steps. Not recommended for small children. Only toilet I could find at the end of the stony beach further after beach huts . The queuing for females toilet was 20-30 min waiting. No option to rent beach reclining chairs. Very international beach. Very pictures and beautiful. Nice for good long walks. Car par at the beach is fully automated. You can pay when you leave Or on arrival ( remember what time you arrived so you know for how many hours you will be paying) It is shorter queue in the evening when you leave. for only 1 automated pay machine. Just enter fort 3 digits of your car reg. and it will come up few options to choose which reg is yours , ones you click on the reg it will come up picture of your park car . Choose on the screen display for how many hours you want to pay . Barriers will open automatically when you leave. Hope you will have good time as I did .

Although it is small one, this is the first Sandy beach I have been in UK. I have been missing the Sandy Beaches from Asia and this beach full fill by wishlist. No stones, all about soft sand.

Very lovely beach with clear water (green not blue, sadly). The sand is medium fine, yellowish, and without seashells. The water is colder than on the Eastern beaches (Whitstable, Herne Bay , Margate, Ramsgate have warmer waters) The dry sand part of the beach is very narrow (just 4-5 metres) after the tide. Easy access with car. Definitely will come back on a much sunnier day to check if it deserves 5*.

A quaint seaside town in Kent between Hythe and Folkestone with a few little shops, a stoney beach and a nice chippy. Nice place but not a lot for children to do aside from the beach and walks. Worth a visit if you’re down that way.

Peaceful, serene, stony, beautiful, calming, lots to explore, BRILLIANT for children. Arty, full of history and colour... Cannot wait to return... I'll be jumping in that sea!! Paddle boarding 💯 💪

A stretch of flint shingle, seasonally steeply shelved, regularly under anti-longshore-drift measures i.e heavy plant movements and divided by semi-submerged granite boulder groynes.

Great walk,friendly people along the way.

Sandgate is a nice place to visit for lovers of the beachside.

Beautiful pebble beach which stretches all across from Folkstone (although classed as separate beaches). It's very relaxing to sit on the shore and enjoy the sound of the waves rolling in and the wind rushing by. Very good for families and it looks like some areas are dog friendly and others you are allowed barbeques.

Lovely pebble beach, the pebble stretch to walk was fun. There are few restaurants,tea shops around with few gift shops. The information provided was quiet informative to understand about the place.

Great walk, parts of the beach are dog friendly, this is seasonal. Look out for seals !

I prefer a proper sandy beach it's just shingles

Long stretch of promenade, Hythe-Sandgate-Folkestone. Blue flag shingle beach. For great for coffee after a brisk walk or swim, try Flint Coffee!

Pretty well kept and looked after venue. Cafe up top with arguably an on site parking lot. Bars throughout that serve food and drinks. Main hall that in theatre style seating holds 800. Downstairs is the channel suit, popular venue in the summer for weddings due to the panoramic balcony over looking the channel. Competitive pricing

Car parking is brilliant. After knowing Folkestone for 10 years I was happily surprised to find out there's underground parking that has an alley that leads to the door of the Leas. Staff are really friendly. Such a lovely little venue! Covid measures still in place. Everything cleaned.

Nice small venue. Nice to see the faces of the people you've paid to watch not on a screen. One thing could you put a sign up to remove hats when sat in front of people. My husband had to stand as his view was blocked.

Uniquely located venue which is part subterranean and part cliffside, great sound and smoking area over looking the sea

Pass by many times but this time I have decided to give it a try and do my usual coffee break here. The space is alright, the service was okay and the coffee was good. The atmosphere was not the best but the location compensate. I will come back for another coffee breaks.

It's been a long time since I've been to a gig here, and I'd forgotten what a great venue it is. Easy to get to, easy to enter and exit and a much nicer experience than the huge queues of city venues. Support your local music venue!

Went to see Chicago Blues Brothers and what a performance, a great time seemed to be had by all that were there. Dancing in the aisles and sides. The place was well set up, bars were run great and staff were really professional. Would definitely go back for another show.

Great place to spend a day around. ❤️👌 Great service and amazing views. 👏 👌 🙌 👍 ❤️

Went to see a band playing. It's quite a small place where everybody is nearby to the stage making it a friendly place where you have space to get up dancing. The bar is good and there is a balcony you can book seats too. Parking is underground and plentiful with a direct passage through to the Leas Cliffe, very helpful. A popular venue for local people. Highly recommended.

I've been to many Pantomimes and this is hands down, the very best Panto I have seen. Simply an incredible cast, made for the funniest evening I've had in the longest time. Thank-you all. For those people that haven't yet booked, hurry, you don't want to miss this one. Please feel free to share this review on socials etc

Another trip down memory lane today in Folkestone. We stopped and had the best coffee and hot chocolate in the Leas Cliff Hall cafe. It's open all year round. Really worth a visit. They do a range of hot and cold drinks and snacks. Very good.

Went to a presentation on Tuesday morning, and it was lovely in there. Buffet food was delicious and plentiful. Everywhere we very clean. The staff couldn't have been nicer, all friendly and obliging. Will definitely go again.

Just this minute left the theatre, was due to see Steve Davis v Stephen Hendry, only trouble was, our seats were on floor level (row J) with the snooker table, hence we couldn’t see a thing. We got a full refund after complaining with several other people. Total shambles. £57 better off. Off to watch the premier league darts on my tv !! See photo, not a snooker table in sight!

I like the Leas Cliff Hall. You hardly have to queue for anything, they're reasonable on drinks prices. The seats are comfortable and the venue is small enough to feel quite personal. I went to the O2 recently, and it was the opposite of all these things. OK, Peter Key is unlikely to do a show in Folkestone, but Jason Manford did, and to be honest, his show was better!! Keep doing what you do Leas Cliff Hall! Edit: Saw Rick Stein this evening, amazing venue as always. Only complaint is the bloody car park. Need to either queue to pay with 500 other people, or use the Ringo app. Which doesn't work because the carpark is pretty much underground!! Nice evening tainted by a nauseating parking experience.

Went to watch the Great trio that are Steve Davis, Denis Taylor and Stephen Hendry, what a HUGE waste of time. I was so annoyed I had to leave at the interval, my view is shown below. Now my neck is in pain from watching a badly displayed screen up and to the right. Absolutely shameful and I can't quite believe this was approved by anyone. I will chase a full refund but I will never get the expectations back.

Brilliant venue for Morrissey! It's easy to get to, easy to park, great bar and an amazing location overlooking the sea. Plenty to see and do around the Leas Cliff Hall if you want to spend the day in Folkestone. Let's have more great live music here please!

We are regular visitors here, we are keen walkers and enjoy the routes that take in the cliffs, warren below and the beach. It's a little hide away beneath the cliffs, a lovely, and unexpected, woody spot which has grown in the slipped earth from the cliffs above. Take a walk around.

Probably the best beach in Kent. The more you walk under the cliffs the better it gets. Its secluded, hardly visited, miles of sandy beaches that gradually slip into the sea. Clean clear water and perfect swimming

This place is amazing, I had a lovely time with my husband there the views are beautiful! 🥰

Amazing hiking trails around the coastal hills in this area. Great views from the cliff tops and hidden beaches between the rocks.

Had a lovely day, beach is not very clean but it's peaceful.

Great walks and hikes. Go inland through the forest and discover the tree swings

So much history here, and so many changes over time... nice view too...

I love this Remembrance Arch. I often sit and ponder on the benches here. You can read a brief history of the important role Folkestone and its harbour played especially in WW1. I just wish that parent's would make their children respect the area. There are several signs asking people not to use it as a playground but they are just ignored.

As memorial arches go this is certainly noticeable. A shame it looks a little like one half of a McDonalds M. All memorials run the risk of mawkish sentimentality, and this one borders perilously close. The constant WW1 music is annoying if you just want to sit in peace. The music and various plaques feel like they don’t so much reflect the irony of disastrously rampant nationalism, as they glorify sacrifice in a wash of the same imperialist nostalgia and a hatred for “the enemy” which led to the war in the first place. There is no mention of the dead innocents on all sides of the conflict. A curious and rather mean omission after so many years, particularly for a memorial which looks out toward the rest of Europe over the sea. Have we learnt anything from history? Maybe. Although this memorial arch doesn’t exactly instill much confidence in that idea.

Lovely place to walk and enjoy the sea views... near by the high street, the place is ideal to relax, there are some nice benches facing the sea... ideal to seat with a cup of coffee under the sun. You could use this

It's a metal arch would not go out my way too visit but ..but nicely done

Located at the top of the Road of Remembrance, and in front of the Leas Road, The Step Short Memorial arch is one of a group of memorials to service personnel of both The 1st and 2nd World Wars. The area is an open space, with views over the Straights of Dover with a series of plaques on a wall giving various information as to Folkestone's role as a departure point for service men and women during both World Wars, as well as a return point for those coming home from conflict, be they on leave, wounded or deceased. One of the plaques commemorates a former Folkestone resident, William Cotter, who was awarded the Victoria Cross after being killed in action in 1916. On the same plaque is the name of Walter Tull, the first black officer in the British Army who was born in Folkestone and killed in action in 1918. Among the other memorials are on to the men and women of the Royal Air Force and it's predecessor, the Royal Flying Corps. Also there is Folkestone's main war memorial. On the railings are knitted poppies, which run down the Road of Remembrance

Amazing walk, goes all the way, check out the Zig zag path that goes to the beach off of it.

Great lace nice people great for artwork

A fitting tribute to those who contributed so much for our country

Great location in the fresh air, free seating and live music 🎶 Superb! Bandstand beautifully renovated. Thanks to Folkestone Festivals for the entertainment

This was advertised as The Sunday Sailor singing shanty. Folkstone provided and put out lots of deck chairs. It was hot day. All Free. None stop sailors singing. Dressed up. Such fun.

I have been living in the folkstone area for over twenty years.I have seen and played in what was the Folkstone pipes and drums.We regularly played to everyone who wanted listen at this band stand.Folkstone a clean vibrant town to live in.With step short memorial Arch 1914 - 1918 War opened by Prince Harry 2014.God Bless Queen Elizabeth for 70 years as our wonderful Monarch.

Good day walk . Lots of stairs. If you brave.

Silent, but every Leas was brilliantly encompassed in dawn's rays...

Great place too listening to music

Love that the city brings in bands weekly to showcase their talent and the beautiful location by the English Channel. Keep it up!

We watched funky and the two tone baby, he was brilliant.

It was an excellent afternoon. Lots of people dancing and a great atmosphere.

It is an interesting structure and a part of the scenery of The Leas. Unfortunately it is not in use at the moment due to the Covid19 restrictions. I have attended performances at this location over the years. The atmosphere is lovely and one can relax and enjoy the music and the wonderful views of the area. The surroundings are well maintained and the flowerbeds are so colourful.

Great venue. Seated gigs - all seats have a good view. Capacity - 150-200 I would guess. Great sound crew.

Sarah-Louise Young is a genius in An evening without Kate Bush. What can this woman NOT do?! With a voice very similar to Kate's, combined with humour, dance, therapy even!!! We smiled and laughed from beginning to end, can't recommend it highly enough. Catch it whilst she's still touring, one of the best shows I've ever seen !! And the Quarterhouse....great venue, been several times, it's intimately perfect x

Great gig at the Quarterhouse, the Buzzcocks were amazing! Fab venue for live music, hope they book more bands like this as it's great for Folkestone. They could do with some air con but I guess the sweaty ambience is all part of the experience!

Brilliant place had an amazing Dj and brilliant music for young ones

It's a lovely venue populated with exceptional staff. Having been born with additional fingers makes me popular with glove makers. I happened to meet two of the premier glove makers in the country here, both of whom squeeled with pleasure when they saw my weird hands. Its not that I have an additional finger in the right place its because it protrudes directly from my palm. Great at secret masonic handshakes but awkward when using the toilet or giving high fives. They've promised me a sheep skinned glove that'll protect my hands from the cold but will still give my 6th fingers mobility. I await the results.

Love coming to the hub market every Tuesday and to collect my Kent Food Hub Box

Great place to see comedians doing the rounds etc. Only small so has a cosy feel. Not the best for getting to by car as parking is tight nearby. Tickets are usually fair in price

Fantastic, little, local venue for all your big entertainment needs... Movies, gigs, stand up, festivals, pop ups, exhibitions and food markets. Fully flexible auditorium that can be changed about, according to the event. I've been here plenty of times to see lots of different things and I'm never disappointed. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Coffee shop and food area upstairs... Currently my favourite part of the building with a huge, wooden art installation of a forest clearing! The only thing letting it down is the lack of cups and mugs. I understand that if you are taking your drink downstairs out outside you need safe receptacles, but of you're drinking upstairs, let's not add to landfill unnecessarily with paper/plastic cups and lids!!!

Amazing local venue, very unique bar upstairs and great facilities.

Really enjoyed the ballet, the venue was quite cold though. Also the prices at the bar are quite high, might be useful to bring in refreshment.

Outstanding venue for music, comedy, theatre & arts. The staff are superb, friendly and helpful. Plus, a great bar too !

A fine looking building, but a full house the other evening the place is seriously lacking ventilation not ideal. The bar was not well stocked running out of beer and the bottled beer was lukewarm to say the least. A shame really. Could do better.

Went to Mrs H sing along baby thing . It was pretty good . The kids all loved it and most of the parents joined in to. Would recommend .

Superb venue. Clever to have in-hall drinks service as well as on the above floor, allowing for topping up during a gig. The floor above that I did see was beautiful with a well stocked and well-run bar with great staff.

A pretty church on the edge of the town center. The staff are friendly and are happy to tell you all about the church's history. They have regular concerts there, often with an excellent choir.

Although I haven't visited this church for years, it was a VERY special place to seek some tranquillity in the chaos of modern Folkestone. I lived in The Metropole, on The Lee's, for almost 32 months...and regularly sought out this church for quiet contemplation. Wonderful sense of history and you will feel that you are in a precious and beautiful place. The attached picture belongs to another poster. Hellie Reumkens. I have changed the orientation to the correct perspective and have informed Google Maps about Hellie's photographic problem. Quite why it wasn't corrected before is a puzzle?

Interesting early history of Folkestone. Informative guides. Good to know that after hundreds of years a worshipping community continues here.

Lovely historic church and beautiful music.

Beautiful church with a lot of history. Always kept clean and tidy, very peaceful to visit if you need a quiet moment to yourself or just somewhere to go and have a look. Great with local schools too 🙂

Beautiful church with lots of history attached. Unfortunately suffering from lack of funds to carry out internal repairs that are needed. Wonderful atmosphere at the concert I attended there.

This little church and churchyard have a special atmosphere.

This is a beautiful and ancient church. It is filled with so much history and one can enjoy its charm and spend time in meditation. There are numerous stained glass windows such asThe Children's Window, The Communion Window both by Kempe and the Baptism Window and the Confirmation Window both by Henning. These are in the South Aisle. It is interesting to look at the tombstone of Rebecca Rogers as it records her disapproval of the chimney tax and an exacting landlord. You are able to purchase detailed guides of the history of the church and St Eanswythe. I attended an exhibition of art work by local artists from FAS today which was very interesting. There is a wide range of subjects and techniques. I particularly liked the portraits by Maddy Swan and Nicola Barratt's "Hare I thought I saw". All the artists have created a fantastic display. Well done!

Lovely, cosy interior, good beers (and gins, wines etc) cheese platter was a well worthwhile, substantial snack, as was artisan bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar dips.

FYI 5* is for the beers, not the food (they don't serve any!) Superb local taproom and community hub. Pints are fresh and tasty. It's a shame the walk home is uphill.

Liked it there, sadly very quiet but hopefully pick up in the better weather

Great cosy friendly place great real ales plus a full range of gins ! , very hospitable staff n friendly hosts

Staff are friendly, beer is delicious (and you can try before you buy), nice chilled out atmosphere - what more could you want?

Had a couple of craft beers & a nice gin and tonic. Nice neat little place with good people behind the bar

Popped in quite by chance on a Saturday evening while waiting for our pizza from across the road to be cooked. Very friendly service. I had a Biddenden cider which was very good. Sat outside and watched the world go by. Inside looked comfortable too. Will definitely return.

Barman sat 16th sept was really friendly and helpful. We came in with our boys and was made to feel really welcome. The lager was very good, will definitely return.

A small bar with good local and guest craft ales and wines. It's quite small so can be hard to find a seat on busier days. There's some pavement seating in the summer so people spill out into the street. Definitely worth a visit.

Love it here, great atmosphere, great ale and had the fag raj deliver food to our table on a Thursday! Excellent

Met friends for a social, easily accommodating us. Some fabulous beers to be had from Dockers or the Boscombe brewery. Cosy and warm atmosphere.

A textbook example of the difference between a pub and a bar. This was a fantastic micropub where the owners served an excellent variety of beers at sensible prices, chatted and joked with customers, and made you feel part of the community. It's now a bland bar owned by a brewery serving good but samey beer at prices I don't pay in London. The barstaff are mostly competent, some are friendly and welcoming, but others are clearly there just to serve the drinks. The magic has gone.

Lovely selection of beers with some nice local wines. Our party of 8 were made welcome even with two young kids in tow

Second time I've been since Docker refurbed it. First time had a very good stout and a pretty good IPA, but would say at 5.70 and 6.40 a pint I'd expect it to be decent. At those prices I'd also expect someone behind the bar who knew something about what they were selling. Second time was yesterday. All the seats outside taken. Walked in to find a solitary drinker enjoying/tolerating what I presume was the young bar person's choice of wall-of-guitar tunes at conversation-mashing levels. We turned round and walked up the road and had a couple of (£4.90) pints on the rooftop terrace at The Ship. The sound of conversation is all the music a good bar needs, but if you really have to, keep it on the down low eh?

What a delightful place! A small railway museum. Full of charm, in a quintessentially English setting.

Nice family atmosphere with an outside play area with toddler toy and cute little mini golf. Nice place for drinks and snacks to let the kids play. Didn't go to the museum on this occasion.

Had a lovely snack and gorgeous bit of cake. Went around the barn which was very interesting with some lovely crafts. Then walked to the railway museum and wondered why on earth it was our first time. What a brilliant museum. We loved it. So informative with lots of buttons for children and adults alike. So much to see and do for all ages. It was great. Try it.

Great family day interesting friendly staff a place to eat dog friendly only thing dog can’t go in to the cafeteria but there are tables outside and they is a few craft stalls

Wonderful place. The railway museum is full of great railway memorabilia, has a working Signal box and a lovely model and exhibition of the Channel Tunnel. The Barn has lots of wonderful crafts, café and a Printer which is very interesting to see how printing used to be done. Also, the volunteers are very friendly and passionate, they really have done a great job here. It’s certainly well worth a visit.

A little gem,lovely place to visit, nice tea shop ,relaxing and plenty to see,the train museum was great, and the small train set out around the museum garden was great,plenty of history at this venue, A LITTLE GEM

We went here during half term with activities going on and a Halloween trail. There for 2-3 hours including a quick lunch.

Great for young and old alike. What a fantastic place, everything oozes the enthusiasm the trust puts into the place. Thought of everything nice picnic area, crazy golf, craft centre, cafe, nature walk and rail museum, don't forget the miniature railway a must for all ages.

Very enjoyable day out for a craft fair and look at the small gauge trains. Definitely go again

A great afternoon out looking at the wonderful crafts in George's Barn and then on to the Railway museum. Highly recommended. Open 10am - 4pm Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays.
