About your walking tourDiscover how art has shaped Folkestone into a must visit UK seaside destination on this walking tour with me, a born and bred Folkestone resident. Your walk starts at The Folkestone Bandstand, and follows the unique clifftop promenade, The Leas, as you head down into the heart of the historic and Creative Quarter, taking in awe-inspiring views over the English Channel. En-route, witness some of Folkestone’s Artworks that make up the UK’s largest urban contemporary art exhibition including pieces by Anthony Gormley and Tracey Emin. Uncover some of the town’s history and wonder at how the once struggling seaside holiday spot has been catapulted back to its former glory.Ending on Folkestone's famous Harbour Arm, you will be able to spend the rest of the day enjoying everything this unique space has to offer. You can also browse the array of unique independent shops in Folkestone's Creative Quarter amongst the town's abundance of restaurants, cafes and art galleries.
