The Port Of Folkestone
Folkestone is rich in history with excavations revealing the ruins of a Roman villa dating from c100AD to it's long relationship with smugglers.
The Romans viewed Folkestone as a strategic lookout point and signalling post as it does not have a river or harbour deep enough for large ships.
The port is located in Kent on the South East coast next to the Straits of Dover.
It became a popular seaside resort partly due to the advent of cross channel ferry services but also suffered from the decline and eventual closure as cross channel ferry services suffered severe competition from the neighbouring port Dover.
When Eurotunnel introduced the Folkestone to Calais Channel Tunnel route in 1994 it became a popular choice with travellers and in 2003 over 2 million motorists made the trip abroad. The journey from Folkestone to Calais takes just 35 minutes.
