Transport

Rail

The railway station at Westenhanger is just over half a mile away from the village centre, offering direct links to London Charing Cross via Tonbridge. Until 2020, passengers were able to change at Ashford International for services to Paris Gare du Nord (with a typical total journey time of a little over an hour off peak during the week), but, as Eurostar trains no longer stop at Ashford, it is now necessary to travel up to London St Pancras International.

Bus

The route 10 bus operated by Stagecoach East Kent passes through the village between Folkestone and Ashford, typically with an hourly service.

Coach

The National Express service SH021 offers a direct link to London Victoria coach station and Dover from designated stops either side of the A20 in the village centre. The route passes through Ashford and Maidstone on the way towards London, and through Folkestone coastbound.
