Folkestone

England

Folkestone perches on Kent's coast where the M20 meets the Channel Tunnel, making it Britain's gateway to Europe. The A20 provides a scenic coastal alternative through Dover, whilst local routes like the A259 connect the string of seaside towns along this stretch. With over 70 EV charging points, it's well-equipped for continental travelers. The town's defining feature remains the enormous concrete mouth of the Channel Tunnel terminal, an engineering marvel that's transformed this former fishing port into one of Europe's busiest transport hubs.
