Folkestone Harbour Arm is the town’s old railway pier, once the boarding point for cross-Channel steamers and now a walk lined with food stalls and bars running out to a lighthouse and beacon. It’s free and open, with the stalls busiest in summer. Folkestone Central station is about 2km to the north-west.
