About

Folkestone Harbour ward occupies the coastal fringe of the town, centred on the working harbour and the adjacent historic harbour arm. The area is defined by its maritime function, with fishing boats, ferry services, and marina facilities. The steep slopes of the Old Town rise directly from the harbour basin, connected by narrow lanes and the historic funicular railway.

Regeneration has introduced new public spaces and the creative quarter around the harbour station. A key feature is the extensive network of cobbled streets and weathered brick warehouses, some repurposed for arts and dining. The shingle beach and concrete promenade trace the ward's eastern edge, leading towards the pier head and its lighthouse.
