Folkestone | Stepping Into a Folded, Colorful 2D World

Just a day-trip away from London, this seaside town offers round-trip train fares for £25 (or £11 by bus, though it takes an hour longer). My mission? To hunt down Richard Woods' iconic 2D houses—because let's be honest, most coastal towns feel similar! (I only found three—if you know where the others are, tell me!) 📍 The Colorful House Hunt 1️⃣ CT20 2BZ | Red House From Folkestone Central Station, follow signs to the beach. Pass a vibrant park (spring blooms in saturated hues—instant mood booster!). 2️⃣ Folkestone Beach Stroll along art installations and flower beds—this town takes creativity seriously. 3️⃣ CT20 1QQ | Orange + Pink Houses Near a white tower and future colorful market stalls (opening in April). The 2D illusion creates a "folded space" effect against real buildings. Artist’s intent: Commentary on migration, housing, and "second homes." (Phone pics don’t do it justice!) 4️⃣ Folkestone Creative Quarter Meh. Feels touristy (only spot with Asian faces all day!). Some artworks, but pale next to the houses. ✨ Why Visit? The sea glows like blue jelly—unnaturally clear. On clear days, you can almost see France! #LondonDayTrips #StudyAbroadUK #ArtTown #CoastalMagic
