Lower Leas Coastal Park, Public park between Folkestone and Sandgate, England
The Lower Leas Coastal Park extends along the seafront, featuring dedicated zones for wildlife observation, children's activities, and formal garden arrangements.
The park emerged in 1784 following a substantial landslip, with subsequent developments including Victorian-era pathways and the addition of a seaside bandstand.
The 350-seat amphitheater within the park hosts regular summer performances, including concerts, theatrical shows, and community festivals throughout the season.
Visitors can access the park from Lower Sandgate Road, with designated parking areas and coach entry restricted to the harbor entrance.
The under cliff section maintains a specific microclimate that supports wildlife species rarely found elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
