SITUATION:
Desirably located between Folkestone and Hythe, the charming coastal village of Sandgate boasts a popular High Street famous for antiques and collectables, with a wonderful selection of inns and restaurants, including traditional fish and chips, as well as small independent shops. The Royal Military Canal is less than a mile from Coast House and offers beautiful walks, cycle routes, and an opportunity to canoe or paddleboard into Hythe and the attractive town of Rye.
The arty seaside town of Folkestone is just two miles away. Regeneration has been underway for a few years now and includes everything from the new creative quarter, improved transport links, and the huge redevelopment project along the seafront. The Folkestone Triennial Festival, founded in 2008, happens every three years and draws international artists who exhibit their creativity around the town. Many of the pieces have remained in Folkestone, attracting attention from cultural tourists. Regular sporting activities are available around the town and seafront, including many watersports. The Coastal Park attracts runners, walkers, and cyclists as they take the paths through landscaped gardens and along the promenade to Sandgate and Hythe.
You can discover some of the best places to eat and drink along the Kent coast, from delicious Argentinian street food to the renowned Dr Legumes vegan restaurant. The famous Rock Salt and the magical Lighthouse Champagne Bar take prime positions on the Harbour and the harbour arm, while the old High Street within the colourful creative quarter is the perfect place to meander around a delightful array of independent boutiques, coffee shops, and art galleries.
