Well it has a very fine railway viaduct - and the best view of them is always from below.

Thank you it does indeed - the viaduct is very distinctive!!

I wouldn't say it is a nice area - no. Quite run down, couple of ropey pubs. Other side of Radnor Park, Cornwallis Avenue, Broadmead Village, Cherry Garden Avenue are all much nicer areas.

Ah thank you - I used to live in the Folkestone Harbour Area but would walk through the Foord area up to the Blackbull/Dover Road area

Blackbull / Dover Road is definitely not a desirable area these days!
