There are many lovely places to visit around Folkestone and surrounding area - all the way to Romney Marsh with it’s breath-taking flat almost empty landscape - a haven for frogs, voles, leeches, newts and plants too: marsh mallow, greater water parsnip and many other varieties.

But for those of you who like to venture way back in time - to the days of prehistoric monsters and the like - then fossil hunting will be right up your street. Folkestones, The Warren, is an absolute treasure trove of fossils - ammonites and belemnites in abundance. Here is a nice little video of a family visit to The Warren and shows some of their fossil finds.
