Location: The Leas Promenade was designed in the mid 1800s by Decimus Burton, who also worked on buildings and gardens at London Zoo and Kew Gardens, and spans for approximately 1 mile. The nearby Bandstand hosts events in the Summer months. A short walk down the cliff along the zig zag path or the Road of Remembrance, is the Lower Leas Coastal Park which is home to the largest free adventure play area in the South East. There is an amphitheatre which hosts theatre and musical performances in the warmer months and is adjacent to the beach. The coastal park itself is split into three zones; the formal zone comprises of pine avenues, gardens and flowers blooming all year round. The fun zone has several different play areas while the wild zone is a haven for quiet recreation.

Folkestone Harbour is fast becoming an attractive place to be with lots of restaurants including the famous Rocksalt, coffee shops, art galleries, boutique and vintage clothing shops as well as bars and traditional pubs still pulling pints to locals and visitors alike. In 2015, the Harbour Arm opened and attracted lots of visitors and locals to have a walk in the sunshine and enjoy the surrounding scenery as well as enjoying little pop up pubs, eateries and the very popular champagne bar in the lighthouse at the end where you can enjoy a glass while sitting outside and enjoying views across to the white cliffs, East Cliff, Dover, France, Dungeness and beyond.

Another big appeal to Folkestone is the High Speed Rail Link which operates services to London St Pancras in 58 minutes which gives London workers the best of both worlds – being able to live by the sea and work in the city of London by being there under an hour. Folkestone Central train station is easily reachable by car or foot at just 0.5 miles from Carlton Leas.

Folkestone prides itself on its history and parts played in WWI and WWII and has many statues and monuments to remember those who gave their lives for the country. It is famously home to the Royal Gurkha Rifles based at Shorncliffe Camp and there are lots of occasions held by the town and army to commemorate the richness that Folkestone's history has to offer.
