About

The Folkestone Morehall & Sandgate area occupies a distinct coastal stretch between the town centre and Hythe. It is characterised by the steep, wooded slopes of the Morehall valley leading down to the linear urban development along Sandgate Road and The Leas. This elevated clifftop promenade provides sweeping views across the English Channel, with the coastline descending to the shingle beach and historic Sandgate High Street below.

The area's specific topography is defined by the presence of the Martello towers, part of the 19th-century defensive chain. Sandgate's seafront is anchored by its castle and a mix of traditional shops and eateries. The lower coastal road connects directly to the Folkestone Harbour arm, while the residential streets on the higher ground are quieter, with architecture ranging from Victorian terraces to modern developments built into the hillside.
