    Tips

    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.

      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

        Built in 1810 (and later expanded) on the site of a former fishing village. Now mostly an area of leisure, a handful of fishing boats still operate from here and sell in the nearby fish market.
