Lower Leas Coastal Park

Lower Leas Coastal Park is an award-winning linear park between Folkestone and Sandgate, created on land formed by a huge landslip in 1784. Children love the south east's largest free adventure playground, while the amphitheatre hosts free summer events and the formal gardens and wilder undercliff suit a gentle walk. Plan two to three hours.
