Folkestone Eurotunnel Terminal Overview
Folkestone is located in Kent on the South East coast of England next to the Straits of Dover. Folkestone is a resort town with excellent communications to London and Europe, and is the home of the Eurotunnel passenger terminal taking freight vehicles and cars via the Channel Tunnel to Calais/Coquelles.
Eurotunnel Channel Tunnel vehicle service offers the fastest route to France, crossing the channel in just 35 minutes. Using Eurotunnel is so easy - just drive on and stay with your vehicle in brightly-lit, air-conditioned carriages. You can walk around inside the shuttle and toilets are available. Customs are cleared before boarding so you drive straight off and away when you arrive in France.
Folkestone is the principal town in the Shepway District of Kent, England. Its original site lay in a stream valley in the cliffs here; and its subsequent development was through fishing and its proximity to the Continent as a landing place and trading port. The coming of the railways, Eurotunnel and the building of a ferry port, together with its growing importance as a seaside resort led to further growth. |
