Folkestone Harbour has experienced a time of great regeneration since 2014. Now a place to promenade, enjoy a cafe or take in the view, it was a busy ferry port until 2001.
The harbour was an important part of World War Two as it was here that 44000 people passed through during the evacuations of Dunkirk.

Cycling

Folkestone Harbour was built in stages between the 1840s and early 1900s around the old fishing port of Folkestone. Over the years passenger and freight ferries and cargo ships operated from the port to various destinations, the best-remembered link being that between Folkestone and Boulogne. By the late 1990s ferry operators Sea Containers Ltd, who then also owned Folkestone Harbour, decided that ferry operations had become unsustainable and the last ferry link was closed down in 2000.

Hiking

Plenty of cafes, pubs, food trucks... It's buzzing with life here, especially on a sunny day. There is a paddling pool with water fountains for children. And in the harbor itself there are still a few picturesque boats
