Some of the Areas We Serve
Patients visit us from all over South and East Kent.
Where we are
Earlsgate Podiatry, 2 Radnor Chambers, Cheriton Place, Folkestone, Kent CT20 2BB. Appointments are available Monday to Thursday, and Saturday.
Getting here by bus
Buses to Folkestone town centre are regular. There's no longer a central bus station: the bus stops are along Shellons Street, which runs parallel to the High Street, and it's usually about a five-minute walk from there to the clinic.
Parking
Parking is easiest at Sainsbury's, which has two hours' free parking over two floors. The car park is entered from Manor Road, CT20 2RZ. Around the town centre, parking is generally limited to two hours, and there are usually more spaces along Sandgate Road and the Leas.

By car: about 4.5 miles, usually about 15 minutes. Take the A259 through Seabrook and Sandgate, then along Sandgate Road into Folkestone.

Across south and east Kent
We also see patients from Dover, Dymchurch, New Romney, Ashford, Canterbury and Herne Bay, often for treatments that aren't easy to find closer to home, such as Swift verruca treatment, ingrown toenail surgery and biomechanical assessment.
Accessibility
There is one step into the clinic, so it isn't suitable for wheelchair users. There are handrails to help you up the step and into the clinic.
Local NHS and Age UK links
Because of our past NHS links, we have links with Age UK in Hythe and with Hythe Health Centre (NHS). The NHS podiatry clinics in Hythe, Folkestone, Dover and New Romney can be called on if we need to involve an NHS podiatrist for more complex community cases or urgent acute care.
