Thanks so much! Comments like this keep me motivated! 😁

I did use to be a train station. It was called harbour station. it was last used around 2006, as the harbour closed. Soldiers from millions of soldiers left there during WW1. The fort is a Martello tower, built as a defence against Napoleon. There are around 5 of them. It’s bluebells over the white cliffs of Dover.

That’s really interesting, thanks so much. Next time I’m in the area I’d love to take a closer look at the Martello tower

You missed the beach side along the gardern path. Hythe is also has a miniature train which runs from Hythe to Dungeonese.

Oh yes I’ve heard that from a few people now, will definitely check it out next time 👍

Omg ❤

The train station at the Harbour Arm was in use until 2009 and latterly used to serve passengers on the Orient Express. During WW1 it was called “the gateway to the trenches” and nearly 10 million service people and workers passed through on their way to France. For many it was their last ever time on British soil. Folkestone is steeped in history and there’s a lot more fascinating stuff to explore. The birds you saw are cormorants. The artwork is from the Folkestone Triennial and is the biggest public display of artwork in the UK. More is added with each event and worth a visit when it’s happening.

Thanks very much for that info, really appreciate it. I find it interesting when someone can provide some knowledge as I’m not the best at researching before I go somewhere 😁

The old railway station that is on the harbour arm used to take the soldiers to the boats to go across the chanel to fight in the war!

That is amazing, especially as the shell of it has been left behind but they’ve developed it with bars and food places

You didnt go to the leas and the coastal park 😊. These places are beautiful too.

Thank you I’ll be sure to check them out next time 😁

The harbour arm used to be out of bounds to the public (apart from the walkway used by anglers) but they needed to find other uses for it as there was no prospect of ferries ever returning to Folkestone.

Free films and sports on the jumbo screen all throughout the year on the harbour arm, with plenty of food and drink out let's also dj on the beach on Fridays and Saturday.

Why Why why !!! You have just gave away the best kept secret for an up an coming seaside resort !!! It's becoming Shoreditch on sea with so many great bars and restaurants and with the old town with creative artists in all aspects. The beach in the harbour is tidal so is always very clean. The coast path towards the Lees is a lovely place for families to enjoy the park for children of all ages. The Mermaid beach has a great cafeteria with great food and drinks with beach an sea views. Also the pebble beach is a good spot for families enjoying a picnic and have a swim or relax on an inflatable. You will not find a funfair or shops selling kiss me quick hat's ! Thank GOD !!! You can book a cheap ticket in advance from International St Pancras to Folkestone West or Central train that only takes under an hour ??? DON'T TELL ANYONE ELSE !!! OKAY
