The Boardwalk at Folkestone Seafront is a striking feature constructed from reconditioned railway sleepers. It stretches 800 meters across the shingle beach, linking the Harbour Arm and Station with the Lower Leas Coastal Park. This pathway not only connects various parts of the seafront but also brings visitors closer to the water’s edge. Along the route, you’ll find public artworks from the Folkestone Triennial, such as AK Dolven’s suspended bell ‘Out of Tune’ and Lubaina Himid’s ‘Jelly Mould Pavilion’.

The Boardwalk is part of a larger regeneration project aimed at revitalizing the harbour area, making it a vibrant space with new restaurants, bars, cafes, and pathways. The use of old railway sleepers ties the new development to the harbour’s historical roots, while the landscaping and design ensure durability against the marine environment.
