Folkestone, situated on the South coast of Kent, is a thriving town that features a picturesque harbour and sandy beach. The shopping opportunities in Folkestone recently increased when the high street was extended to include Bouverie Place. Walks along the Leas overlooking the sea are popular, as is the local music venue, The Leas Cliffe Hall.
Folkestone is the home of Saga and The Creative Quarter, hosts regular farmers markets in the harbour and is encouraging the development of several local artists.
