Great spray arcs that emit a fine, cool mist of water vapor that is cooling but not wet. A really great idea for hot summer days, where you urgently want imitations. Brilliant idea in beautiful, aesthetic implementation.

Quite a surreal appearance coming from the old town, Well worth checking out. Plenty of benches an cycleway running past.

This sculpture features two blocks of white Portland stone on a bed of slate. On the top are profiles of swimmers pushing forward into a wave of stone. It was created in 1995 by artist, Ray Smith and is a memorial for cross-channel swimmers. It also marks the start/end of the North Downs Way as well as National Cycle Network routes 1 and 2.

Beautifully designed water feature. Why is it called Stargate Fountain????

The White Cliffs of Dover are an iconic British landmark. As this is the narrowest sea crossing to mainland Europe, the white cliffs were once the first sighting of home that you would have when returning from abroad. During World War Two, Dame Vere Lyn's song "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" brought the landscape even closer to the nation's hearts. She led a campaign to save the clifftops from development before her death in 2017.

The first attempt to dig a tunnel under the Channel to connect England and France was commenced here at Shakespeare Cliff in the late 1870s. The sea is its narrowest here at just 21 miles. It has earned its name, Shakespeare Cliff, from being associated with King Lear. There are great views up here along the coastline and even across to France.

A lovely country park around the East Cliffs of Folkstone and East Wear Bay sandy beaches. The area has been popular for centuries; during Victorian times, people would picnic on the grassy meadows here and then play games on the beach. You can explore the park, and its three Martello defensive towers, via a network of footpaths. There are wildflower meadows, lots of green spaces, and plenty of wildlife to enjoy.
