Folkestone – Tuesday 5th December 2023

Folkestone is a port town which used to have one of the main ferry routes between England and France, until the Channel Tunnel meant ferry crossings in this area went into decline and were no longer cost-effective.  We stopped in the town for breakfast and then headed to the Waterstones, which is located in the main shopping area.

Folkestone Harbour Arm

After breakfast, we walked down to the harbour area to visit another of Antony Gormley’s sculptures, Another Time XVIII.  This one is located on the Harbour Arm, the former port area and site of the now closed Folkestone Harbour train station, which has been regenerated as a site for recreation, with bars and restaurants.  It’s a great use of the old site.
