Took my wife, daughter and grandchildren and we all had a most interesting time. There is an incredible amount of items on display, and the layout means you are discovering something new around the each section without being overwhelmed with exhibits. The whole experience is well balanced from both RAF and German perspective's and gives an enthralling insight into the lives of those that took part in the Battle of Britain. The volunteers running the museum were very friendly, and only too ready to help. The no photo rule is not a problem, and should not discourage anyone from visiting the museum. Leave your camera in the car, and immerse yourself with the exhibits on display. When leaving, we collected our cameras, and we had our photos taken with the Hurricanes outside by the volunteers. I highly recommend a visit to this museum, and look forward to returning in next year when it re-opens.

we visited Folkestone beach it’s a lovely beach with crystal clear waters and they have cafe and ice cream shop close at beach ???? and paddle board hire directly next to it. The raised walk way runs along the end of the beach with stairs leading to the east cliff, built under the walkway is a series of quirky tunnels that if your get there early enough to claim one, offer the ideal shade out the sun. The beach further down one end is covered in rocks and at low tide is perfect for rock pool and crabbing.

New measures have been introduced by Folkestone & Hythe District Council in response to the sheer numbers of people visiting the Lower Leas Coastal Park. These measures include: Banning barbecues in the Coastal Park with immediate effect. BBQ pods have been removed. Refreshing the double yellow lines along Radnor Cliff Road. Installing a lockable barrier on the Coastal Park car park and close this overnight from 8pm - 8am to discourage groups from staying late into the evening. We are unable to release any vehicles over night. Installing additional signage and exploring the use of large electronic signage located at various points in the district/access points to the park areas. Increasing the amount of enforcement and advisory officers to give a higher visual presence. We will be issuing warnings - and potentially fines - to anyone acting in a way that negatively impacts on others.
This park is along the cliff and under cliff of Folkestone and provides a lovely green walk between the town above and the sea below. It is a pretty Victorian experience - an amphitheatre with the sea as a backdrop; attractively planted flower beds; a zig-zag path up the cliff through the the trees to the bandstand on the esplanade above. And all the time, the sea and pebble beaches stretching out to give lovely views. What a treat - and all for free. I wonder if the funicular railway/lift works in the summer to complete the back-in-time experience.

An excellent discussion-led update on providing access to the work of this truly great poet. Catherine Heaney (daughter of Seamus), gave a detailed account of why and how there is now so much access to his lifetime of work. Very human, very warm. The new collection of 100 poems, across his poetry career will be welcomed by all. Adrian Dunbar added brilliantly to the show. His reading of personal favourites was the perfect accompaniment to the flow of the show. He gave of himself and it was powerful, emotional. Well done to the curators of the Folkstone book festival; a truly fascinating event.
