This is the east cliff area or Folkestone and the best place for a brisk walk after an argument with the wife, god i've been here a few times Hahaha. Theres a lovely restaurant up here called the east cliff pavillion which you can catch on my restaurant tips and is just of this photo. In the area theres a pitch and putt golf course, tennis courts and bowls. The photo also shows the hotel burstin in the right corner.

Off The Beaten Path: WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

Located on the east cliff area of Folkestone, the Warren which is named after the amount of breading rabbits, is a wildlife haven and a fantastic place to walk, and explore, you can if the tide is right walk all the way along the coast to shakespeares cliff and then on to Dover, but its a long way and it can get dangerous if you get caught out by the incomming tide, so you have been warned. The sheer hight of the cliffs reeching all the way down to the sea make this place breathtaking

Off The Beaten Path: MARTELLO TOWERS

These strange looking buildings are called Martello towers and are only found in the south of England, they were built as a defence for the possible French invasion when France and England declared war in 1794. In total 74 of these forttresses were built and construction started in 1805. At first it was thought that each tower would cost between ?3000 and ?8000 pounds per tower, but as time went on these prices rose to ?18000. This photo shows Martello tower number 1, and towers 2 and 3 can be easely seen from here sitting 200ft above the English channel

This is a panoramic view of Folkestone from the countryside only 10 mins away. Once you get out of the crowded town there are miles and miles of open countryside with some fantastic walks to lovely little English villages

This is Sandgate, which is just outside Folkestone on the coast road to Hythe. Its a lovely little village and very popular in the summer with its long pebble beach. Sandgate's clame to fame is its antiques shops, there are loads of them. v.t staff have promist me that they will place Sandgate on the map, untill then i have had to put it on my Folkestone pages, as soon as Sandgate has a location i will add more information on this lovely village

This is a photo taken from the round hill tunnel on the approach to Folkestone (M20). As soon as you get past this point you are in beautiful countryside which is perfect for hikers. I used to spend a lot of time as a child playing on top of Sugarloaf hill, so its got great memories for me

ASPENDOS KEBAB HOUSE: KEBABS ARE HUGE - SOUNDS MY CUP OF TEA !!! GREAT TIPS THANKS | jashby Sat May 12, 2007 11:36 UTC
My family are habitual visitors to Folkestone every year during May. For the last ten years or so, The Lifeboat has been our pub of choice - can you confirm if it's still open? If you could email me at jmhashby@aol.com it would be MUCH appreciated! | Jenniflower Sun Apr 29, 2007 10:53 UTC
No, we never felt anything our side (South West London)! Sending you all a big hug, hope you get some answers soon x | evaanna Mon Apr 2, 2007 18:00 UTC
The white cliffs look just great and your sense of humour is catching. Your revamped page looks very attractive. I'm sorry your favourite Rotunda is there no more. Will be back to read more. |
