I have lived in Folkestone for a few years now, having moved from London and soooo.. glad I did. It had been in need of a makeover and this is now happening at a rapid rate with fresh seafood cafes and restaurants, a harbour arm with food and entertainment including outdoor cinema, champagne lighthouse and mini golf. Lots of beautiful art and artifacts strewn around the town, eclectic shops and markets. Something for all but agree with a couple of comments - the Grand Burstin is a blot on the lovely Folkestone landscape and needs a massive overhaul. ❤️❤️🌞😎

The Grand Burstin needs demolishing. It looks like a Stalinist detention centre. I recall in the 1960s the grand and stylish Royal Pavilion Hotel which the Burstin replaced. A complete planning crime.

Ah! My lovely home town of Folkestone, I was born in 1950, memories of camping out on the warren, boy oh boy life was easier, we live in Cornwall now and believe me cornwall is not what Cornwall is made out to be,, I am 73 now and have a yearning for my lovely home town, shame about the rotunda and the lift on the leas, thanks for showing this. Good ole Folkestone

When I last visited Folkestone in 2009, the resort was literally like a ghost town. Now it looks like the resort has been brought back to its former glory and like it was in the 1990s again, although sadly Rotunda fun fair and the dome (with amusement arcades inside) are now long gone. There is no Sunday market on the promenade anymore, and when I visited Folkestone in 2007, the market had moved to the high street (outside Waterstones book shop).

That's Sunny Sands beach, in the harbour area. I live close by in Capel le Ferne. Folkestone has improved so much great for a weekend get away but avoid a certain hotel over looking the harbour.
