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.

Guides with vocational qualifications, postgraduate degrees and published literature on the subject, as well as years of experience in guiding the sites, get to the heart of what matters at these locations. While knowledge certainly matters, the delivery of information in a manner that leaves you with an understanding of a period, rather than a list of events, is crucial.

We have postgraduate-educated or ex-military guides with a wealth of experience guiding on battlefields as well as in London. The depth of understanding in our team enables us to explain clearly and concisely the more challenging concepts in the museum. We also understand the value of levity when appropriate, and fundamentally we love the content we discuss. This never gets old.
