Folkestone is a port town on the English Channel in Kent, southeastern England. Originally a fishing town, it developed into a significant port and seaside resort during the 19th century with the arrival of the railway. The town has undergone cultural regeneration in recent decades, particularly through the Folkestone Triennial, an ambitious public art project that has transformed the town into an open-air gallery.
The Creative Quarter, centered in the historic heart of Folkestone, has become a hub for artists and creative businesses, occupying restored historic buildings. The town's rich history is reflected in its Victorian architecture, particularly along The Leas, a clifftop promenade offering views across the English Channel.
Folkestone played a crucial role during both World Wars, serving as a key port for troops and supplies, and this heritage is preserved in various memorial sites throughout the town.
