Folkestone Warren, Coastal nature reserve in Kent, England.
The three-kilometer-wide chalk cliff formation contains multiple geological layers, including White Chalk, Grey Chalk, and Gault Formation along the English Channel.
The construction of the Dover to London railway line through the Warren in 1844 required extensive engineering work, including two tunnels at opposite ends.
The North Downs Way walking path stretches across the cliff tops, connecting the natural landscapes between Folkestone Downs and Samphire Hoe.
Visitors can access the beach area through a small car park connected to an unpaved road, with alternative parking available at Pavilion Public Car Park.
The beach reveals abundant marine fossils, particularly ammonites, while the grasslands support populations of Adonis blue butterflies and bee orchids.
