About Folkestone - show infohide info
Folkestone is a coastal resort town in the Shepway district of Kent, England. Hovercraft and ferry services formerly connected the town to both Boulogne and Calais in France, together with the still present Channel Tunnel. Satellite towns include Capel-Le-Ferne, Cheriton, Hythe and Hawkinge Folkestone was a Norman stronghold on, or near the site of a Saxon fort and became known from its connection with the priory of St. Eanswythe. Folkestone has suffered much deprivation since the end of the Second World War. The rise of foreign holiday destination, added in no small way by the package holiday, damaged Folkestone tourism business, as with most British holiday resorts. Although the tourist industry was still maintained, the closure of the ferry services between here and Boulogne seemed to spell the town’s demise. The opening of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link hastened that closure. Recently (2004) talks have begun between the leaders of the two towns: Boulogne also had similar problems. A SeaCat ferry service began in 2004, and some evidence is beginning to show that rebuilding of the town has begun. There has been significant physical redevelopment of the local town centre in a bid to make it more acceptable to tourists, the local community and the UK's newspapers alike Nearby towns include Dover, Margate, Ashford and Canterbury
