Highlights: Rochester Dickensian Market, Canterbury

A traditional seaside town, Folkestone is sheltered by the South Downs on the edge of the English Channel. The elegant Leas, a grassy mile-long promenade, extends along the cliff-top and provides stunning views, with a picturesque harbour below. 

Packed with stalls, Rochester becomes a feast of Victorian delights, framed by Rochester's fairytale cathedral and castle. Characters from Dickens' much-loved stories bring nostalgia to this popular Christmas Market.
