Folkestone grew from a sleepy harbour town into a major passenger port & railway link to the continent during the early part of the 19th Century. High-society had already discovered the town's charms and local landowner Lord Radnor employed Decimus Burton (of Regent's Park & Tunbridge Wells fame) to develop the seafront & the grand Leas cliff-top promenade was born. The 2 World Wars completely changed the fortunes of the town and during WW1 most of the seafront buildings were requisitioned & the local population evacuated. Over 10 million troops & personnel left for the front lines in France via Folkestone between 1914 & 1918! Today, The Leas retains its grandeur & beauty, but now has added poignant memorials to these momentous events which we will explore in depth. More recently, the Old Town & Harbour have had a huge regeneration & are a great destination for shopping and eating. Come and discover this gem on the East Kent coast with your local Blue Badge tourist guide.
