THINGS TO DO IN FOLKESTONE

Said to be the fifth continent! A world apart, where sheep graze in fields separated by a maze of ditches, the horizon is punctuated with church towers, and the open skies and sense of solitude make it a truly unique and special place. Peaceful quiet and flat offering excellent walking and cycling, historic churches, a variety of special wildlife, and a distinctive coastline, from the shingle of Dungeness to the sandy expanse of Dymchurch.
