East Cliff and Warren Country Park

The land has been created after several landslips of the chalk ground, since the last 200 years. After 1915, the Dover to Folkestone. Railway line (running through the site) was defended from coastal erosion. This also had the intentional effect of stopping any more landslips to the land beyond the line. In 1924, the land was gifted to the council of Folkestone and the country park was formed soon after.
