The Folkestone Harbour Arm (The Place To Be, claims their web site), juts out into the English Channel, not only providing spectacular views of the town when you reach the end, but it also offers the visitor a selection of clubs, restaurants and local businesses, as well as a bakery and brewery. Of course, on a crisp, clear, winter's weekday like today there is little sign of any of this activity, but Saturdays and Sundays, apparently, are a different matter.
The lighthouse (top) - built in 1860 - is also the venue of the Folkestone Lighthouse Champagne Bar. I'm sure they know best, but to Nic and I it seems like a recipe for the occasional disaster, with the unwary patron tottering out onto the pier after a drink or two too many, and ending up in the drink themselves.
