Folkestone, Kent
Folkestone used to be a busy port with ferry services to and from
Boulogne, but with these ceasing to operate and with the opening of the
Channel Tunnel the town lost much of its business. However, we
understand that things are now improving - and it's still a nice place to
visit !  Enjoy the postcards of this channel port as it was years ago ! And
