The Bayle Village

Charming historic area of Folkestone near the large church of St Mary & St Eanswthye. The Bayle is characterised by colourful houses, a traditional pub, well kept community spaces and has a lovely village atmosphere. The little garden is well maintained, with attractive spring flowers and a fountain. Benches under the shade of trees provide an ideal place to stop for a while. There's some history here too, outlined on an information board. The Bayle is a short but steep walk from Folkestone Harbour, along the characterful Old High Street of independent shops, and up a steep flight of steps.

The Bayle is a charming neighbourhood in the heart of Folkestone. What a hidden gem with incredible views of the sea and the harbour - Parade Steps and Priory Gardens! It is a place where you feel a community spirit and where every visitor - little or grown up can always find something new to explore and discover! Just a stone’s throw away from busy Folkestone high streets you can find a spot to recharge at the local churchyard park or at The Bayle Pond Gardens. Why not to explore The Bayle’s rich history and architecture through the Heritage Trail or go on the contemporary art hunt to discover Folkestone Art Work?

The Bayle is a beautifully tranquil place to live, work or visit.
