Folkestone has enjoyed a sustained period of regeneration in recent years embracing its rich Victorian past on the famous Leas Promenade with its lavish gardens, bandstand and The Leas Cliff Hall and from where, on a clear day, the French coastline can be observed. The vibrant Creative Quarter is home to a colourful array of galleries, independent shops, bars, eateries and studios on the cobble lined Old High Street which leads to the pretty working harbour and The Harbour Arm with Champagne Bar, live events and a host of other independent business giving it a unique flavour. For peace and tranquillity escape to the unspoilt beaches or the picturesque Lower Leas Coastal Park and to the east of the town, The Warren with miles of countryside walks.
