GETTING AROUND & THINGS TO DO
Trains
South Eastern trains service the area.
Use the link below to check trains.
From London:
Kings Cross St Pancras (fast but $$) High Speed service to Canterbury (55 Min) or to Sandwich (1h35)
London Bridge (slow) to Canterbury / Ashford with changes to get you to most other places.
Taxis
We will be letting the local taxi companies know that we may be needing them, and depending on numbers will probably put some shuttles on between the church and venue and maybe some for the end.
For your reference the below companies operate in Sandwich/Deal and there will be a larger number from Canterbury:
Sandwich Cars : +44 (0) 1304 617 424
Taxis (Sandwich) : +44 (0) 1304 614 209
Deal Cars : +44 (0) 1304 382 345
Sadly no UBER, I'm afraid folks - but in case you need to London UBER drivers are normally very happy to whizz you down for somewhere between 60-100 quid cash.
Cars
Hiring a car is probably the best way to get around if you don't have your own. Most places you can find free parking and it is nice to be able to explore the area.
I will put some driving instructions on another page.. . . .
Historical
Ask Martin ..!!
Dover Castle, Leeds Castle, Chartwell, Dover cliff tunnels, Sandwich Guildhall,
Nature
Beautiful coastline with all sorts of beaches, watersports and boat rides on offer!
If you think you can get up early on Sunday 18th there is a birdwatchers walk at 9am - quite interesting and plenty to see if the weather is nice! @ the Sandwich Observatory
Sandwich river boat trips - cruise down the river Stour into the channel to watch the seals !
GOLF - Martin will tell you all about it, Royal 5 ports, Royal St George, Princes as well as a couple of other less exclusive courses around !
Betteshanger Park - If you fancy a bit of cycling, this is a converted quarry/mine that offers a good circuit without stress of the road also has some fun off piste jumps for the more daring.
