Many holiday towns claim to 'have everything' by way of attractions, events and excursion opportunities. Only Folkestone, though, can offer visitors the fastest way to mainland Europe!
In just 35 minutes, Eurotunnel can speed you and your car from Folkestone to Calais, a great place for shopping and the gateway to the resorts, historic towns and scenic countryside of northern France and Belgian Flanders.
The fast, easy Continental connection is just one of the many out-and-about bonuses of a stay in or around Folkestone. So many beautiful, exciting and interesting places are within easy reach by car, train or bus: the cathedral city of Canterbury and its unique world heritage site attractions: Dover, Leeds and other magnificent castles; resorts, must-visit attractions, stately homes and glorious gardens in Kent and Sussex.
