FOLKESTONE: THE LEES.
In ancient times Folkestone was one of the "limbs" or subsidiaries of the Cinque Port of Dover, but has now far surpassed it as a place of popular resort. The climate is pure and bracing, while in the more sheltered spots the most delicate invalids may find protection; and few watering-places near London possess so much variety on the sea-front. It was only in 1809 that Telford's fine harbour again made Folkestone a sea-port; and the steamer traffic to Boulogne and other places is a never-failing source of interest. The pier and its pavilion are very fine. But the great charm of the place lies in "The Lees," which offers a wide carriage-drive at the top of the cliffs, beautiful lawns, shrubbery, and seats; while down the broken heights, covered with verdure of various kinds, winding steps and paths lead to the Lower Sandgate Road.
