A small parking lot right on the street. A bit of traffic and young people with loud music. Let's see how the first night in the UK goes.

This is a small section of the long-distance footpath, The North Downs Way, that runs through southern England. This particular section brushes the southern edge of the Kent Downs near the coast and is near the town of Folkestone.

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.

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.

Lovely area, i can recommend Sandy's Fish and chips, which is slightly hidden in 2-3 Back Street, Fish was fresh and tasty. https://www.sandysfishandchips.co.uk/

Constructed circa 1293, the origins of this site likely predate 1066, possibly housing a church. Presently, its meticulously maintained interior, adorned with floral arrangements, showcases remarkable craftsmanship by local sculptor Michael Rust and the late artist Gordon Davis.
