Sometimes Folkestone can be a very friendly town but ther's always a few that spoil it for everybody else. If poss at night go around in groups and beware of the trouble spots around the clubs and pubs which are mainly around the harbour area.

Taxi fares in Folkestone are not cheap, for example a 3 mile trip from my house to the town center costs an average of ?5 pounds. If you do have to use a taxi try to avoid them after middnight, some taxi firms charge double. Agood tip is to book your taxi in advance,then you will only be charged single fare.

Warnings Or Dangers: THE TOE TEST

This is Folkestone beach with the pier on the left, it all looks very inviting on a warm summers day doesn't it. But don't be fooled, swimming in the English channel is more of a chalenge than a pleasent afternoon dip. There is only one way i can truthfully discribe the feeling (BLOODY FREEZING). Now thats where the toe test comes in handy, this experiment has been scientifically tested by my good self and it works very well. Heres what you do, first stick your big toe in the sea and if it turns blue and falls off then its far to cold hahahahaha. Thats it folks, it don't get any warmer than that hehehehe.

I thought i would add this little bit of information because people think you can still travel by ferry to France from Folkestone. This service was stopped a few years ago now. The nearest crossings to France is the port of Dover, which is 7 miles from Folkestone

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. |
