Folkestone is a coastal resort town in the Shepway district of Kent, England. Seacat and ferry services formerly connected the town to both Boulogne and Calais in France, together with the still present Channel Tunnel. Satellite towns include Capel-Le-Ferne, Cheriton, Hythe and Hawkinge

Folkestone is located at the eastern end of the M20 which provides fast access to Ashford, Maidstone, London and the M25. The A20 is motorway-standard to Dover. Folkestone also marks the eastern end of the A259 South Coast Trunk Road with access to Hastings, Eastbourne and beyond. To the north, roads connect Folkestone to Canterbury and the nearby villages of Elham and Lyminge.

The town is served by two railway stations, Folkestone West and Folkestone Central, as described in the "Folkestone Railways" section.

The town is situated at the foot of the North Downs, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside and the French coast, a mere 21 miles away. The North Downs Way, starting its course in Surrey, reaches the coast at Folkestone and continues through Capel-Le-Ferne, and to its end at Dover, some 8 miles away. Many walkers enjoy this fabulous scenic route and the "Folkestone Horse" has been carved into the hill side of the Downs. The area is a magnet for passing migrating birds and the Warren (woodlands ajoining Wear Bay) and the cliffs above are of particular interest during the spring and autumn periods.

The Saxon Shore Way starts at Gravesend, Kent and traces the coast as it was in Roman times, via Folkestone, as far as Hastings, East Sussex, 163 miles (262 km) in total.

Nearby is Brockhill Country Park, an area with footpaths around the lake and in the valley, linking with the Royal Military Canal at Hythe.
