Christ Church Gate

Reviewed By bsandrs - Portsmouth, United Kingdom

The gate stands as a dramatic entrance to the Cathedral precinct from the Buttermarket and would have made for a commanding presence when built in the early sixteenth century. Over the years there have been many changes including early in the nineteenth century when an Alderman arranged for the upper Towers to be removed so that he could see the Cathedral clock from his premises ! The statue of Christ was installed in 1990 after the plinth had remained empty for nearly 350 years. When you pass through to the ticket office on the way to the Cathedral stop and look and consider the history.

Folkestone Harbour Arm

Closed for the winter months

Reviewed By Rearlukewarm

Wow, what an amazing venue. I am Folkestone born and bred and it surprises me every time I go how brilliantly this place has been transformed from it's make over; from the Greek Bus restaurant to the Lighthouse Champagne bar, from live music to spot-on-views from the array of eateries and drinking pop ups it's a perfect afternoon for all ages! Kudos to the big outdoor screen for live sports and outdoor cinema. Well done Folkestone!!
