Folkestone Warren

If you are reading this, you are most likely viewing my painting of the warren beach, Smartphone in hand, having scanned the QR code beside it.


For your trouble, let me give you a bit more insight to this special place...

As a child growing up in the town, there was magic of walking the muddy little trail down through wild scrub, to arrive at the secret beach that only the locals knew. Its been forty years since I was last there, but it has changed little.  The beach retains its seclusion and serenity, protected by an arc of white cliffs.



As a child I never got to walk beyond the beach, but trails lead up through the wild scrub of an area the locals call little Switzerland.  Its hillocks are the remains of old landslides, now grown over, but offering the perfect vantage points to view this special haven.  And one such spot is where I took this brief video on the perfect Autumn day.
