UK VOL.1: Folkestone - Waiting for That Perfect Sunny Day

Unlike the tourist-packed Brighton or Dover, Folkestone remains a hidden gem in Kent. Once a bustling trade hub linking England and France, this quiet coastal town now offers a rare blend of ocean serenity and artistic passion—where the crowds fade, but the charm lingers. 🚄 How to Get There? From London: Take a train from Charing Cross or St Pancras International (fastest route: 50 mins to Folkestone Central). Round-trip fare: ~£20-25 (*discounts with 16-25 Railcard*). ⛱️ What to Do? Folkestone is a no-itinerary-needed town: 1️⃣ Walk 20-25 mins (or take a 15-min bus) from the station to the coast. 2️⃣ Follow the cliffside boardwalk down to the beach. 3️⃣ Stroll past vibrant 2D houses from Folkestone Beach to the harbor. 4️⃣ Visit the lighthouse (just 40 nautical miles from France!). 5️⃣ Explore the Creative Quarter’s galleries and cafés. ✨ Tip: The town is small and walkable—just pick a sunny day, sleep in, and let the sea blues mesmerize you! #LondonDayTrips #SeasideEscape #StudyAbroadUK
