As a result of feedback
from our visitors the suggested most direct route to the K&ESR from the
M25 is to join the M26 at junction 5 which after a short time joins
the M20 at junction 3 and head south-bound signposted towards the Ashford/Dover
direction. Leave the M20 at junction 8 - the Leeds Castle exit and take the
B2163 through the village of Leeds and past the entrance to the castle on your
left. This rural road soon meets the A274 at a crossroad junction, turn left
here and head through the villages of Sutton Valence, Headcorn and Biddenden
where the A274 becomes the A262. Where this road meets the A28 turn right towards
Tenterden passing through the suburb of St Michaels before entering Tenterden
High Street. Once in the High Street continue until you see The Vine public
house, turn right here into Station Road and Tenterden Station and our FREE
car park is located just over the level crossing.
