Windsor Hotel

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE

by whitecliff62

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

Folkestone, a pleasure to discover

by intl_dan

"A city by the sea"

I discovered Fokestone as a friend of mine moved here very recently. An oldy worldy place, once a playground for british sea side holidaymakers in victorian times, now rather neglected. It has a very english faded charm about it.

"Lots of grand victorian architecture"

A real pleasure, but only some of the buildings are restored.

"Once a big harbour"

used by ships and boats, and now mostly by seagulls...
