Folkestone West

Residential area with Radnor Park, Folkestone West station, and easy access to Sandgate along the coast.

Folkestone West is the residential area to the west of the town centre, stretching towards Sandgate and including the Radnor Park area. It contains Folkestone West railway station, which serves local and regional services on the Marshlink line to Ashford and Hastings.

The area has a mix of Victorian terracing, interwar suburban housing, and newer residential developments. Radnor Park — the town's principal public park — is located in this area, providing open green space, tennis courts, and a café.

Folkestone West has a strong residential community with local shops and services along the main roads, and is well-connected to both the town centre and Sandgate by the coastal path.
