Folkestone is the principal town in the Shepway District of Kent. Its original site was in a valley in the sea cliffs and it developed through fishing and its closeness to the Continent as a landing place and trading port. The coming of the railways, the building of a ferry port, and its growing importance as a seaside resort made the town grow. However, business has declined. The beginning of high speed rail services for commuters on the HS1 line to London St Pancras has cut the journey time from London to less than an hour. Folkestone now has the only sandy beach and coastal park within an hour of north London. Local dining options include Pauls, Copper & Spices, Chinatown Noodle Bar & Takeaway, and The Little Bistro.

The center of Folkestone ( which is at is longitude 1°10'26.706 and latitude 51°4'43.383 ) is located 2 miles away from Sandgate, 4 miles away from Hythe, 5 miles away from Alkham and 6 miles away from Sandling.
