Travel Information – Distance: 109 miles

By Road:
The easiest way to get to Dover from Stevenage is via the M25 and M2/A2. You can use the M20 if you so choose, although it is a little further and a little longer. We'll keep it simple by choosing the former and should manage to complete the trek in under a couple of hours.

After the necessary southbound journey on the A1(M), take the clockwise M25 round to and across the Dartford Crossing. As the M25 is restored on the Kent side of the crossing, have your wits about you to exit the motorway for the coastbound A2.

Continue to follow the A2 onto the M2 and back again when the motorway ends on the other side of Faversham. As you approach Dover, you will have the option to take the fourth exit at a roundabout for the A256 for Dover (North)/River/Temple Ewell. Take this option.

After a mile, take the first exit at the roundabout and continue on the A256. There will be a sharp right after 0.7 miles for Crabble Road that you will need to take, however, with the ground up on the left as the hill snakes round to the right.

Parking:
Your best option for parking at Dover is to use local streets.

By Rail:
Station: KEARNSEY
Services to: DOVER PRIORY (for ASHFORD INTL., LONDON CHARING CROSS)

Kearnsey is the nearest station to the Crabble, but requires a number of changes if travelling from Stevenage. The quickest journey is timed at slightly more than two-and-a-half hours and will involve a change at Dover Priory. Some may indeed prefer to alight at Dover Priory.

The journey - as dictated by National Rail - uses a service from London St Pancras to Ashford International; Ashford International to Dover Priory; and then Dover Priory to Kearnsey. You can get to Dover Priory direct from Charing Cross, though, and to Kearnsey from London Victoria.

From the station, head southeast on Alkham Road and turn right to remain on said thoroughfare. Continue onto Lower Road for nearly a mile, before turning right onto Crabble Road. Follow the road around to the right as it goes up the hill, before bearing left through the park to the ground.
