Folkestone is a real gem of the East Kent coast. The modern town displays much of its Victorian and Edwardian heyday in its architecture but there is much more that lies within and indeed beneath. In recent times archaeologists have dug beyond a Roman villa dating from the first century to discover prehistoric evidence of man on the east cliff. Up on the west headland remains of mammoths and prehistoric hippo have been discovered. Dinosaur footprints have been discovered on the beach too. The town is surrounded by wonderful hills, themselves home to wildlife and plants and indeed a fantastic Norman ring and bailey earthwork castle. The images in this selection celebrate the human and natural diversity that is Folkestone.
