    Canterbury is easily accessible...

By road


The M20 (M25/M26) and M2 motorways are close by, providing easy links to London and its airports. Kent’s International Airport in Manston is just a 25 minute drive away. The A2 and A260 connect Canterbury with the Channel port of Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal in Folkestone. Herne Bay and Whitstable are both a short drive from the city of Canterbury, via the A28/A291 and A290, respectively.
   
       
    By Rail

Canterbury has two mainline railway stations, East and West, and is served by frequent trains to and from London Charing Cross and Victoria (journey time approximately 11/2 hours) and elsewhere in Kent. Ashford International is just a 20-minute rail journey away.
   
       
    Getting Around

Buses run throughout the day and evening and there are several Park and Ride sites on the outskirts of the city. Much of the town centre is pedestrianised, although there are several carparks in the city centre.
