Dover Transportation from Dover Western Terminal to Gatewick
Posted: Wed April 29, 2009 07:49 PM UTC
We have been attempting to locate reasonable and timely transportation from the Cruise Terminal to Gatewick Airport for a 13:30 departure on June 3, 2009.

Can someone advise what they have found regarding the above? We will be arriving by bus from London, but that does not seem to be practical for the return to the airport.

Thank you.

Canterbury Dover to Canterbury
Posted: Thu March 5, 2009 06:45 AM UTC
Hi. We are disembarking in Dover from a cruise on April 28th. We'd like to spend some time in Dover, then go to Canterbury, tour on our own there and stay overnight. Since we'll be hauling our luggage around, is there anywhere in Dover we could leave the luggage while we go to the castle, etc., before taking the train, or other transportation, to Canterbury?

Also suggestions for good B&B's in Canterbury and the best way to get to Heathrow from Canterbury would be appreciated. Thanks! I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about Dover.

Dover Speed Ferries Insolvency
Posted: Sat December 20, 2008 11:07 AM UTC
This is jolly bad news for all budget-minded travellers. Speed Ferries has entered administration, and as one of their open ticket holders I was informed that the administrators have failed to find a buyer, so the company and the crossings are going down the drain. Prices of crossings are already on the rise as the main, perhaps the only, challenger of the cartel has ceased to exist. RIP Speedferries, thanks for the services done to competition.

Dover a day trip out of london
Posted: Tue November 18, 2008 10:34 AM UTC
Hello everyone.
I'll be visiting London in about two weeks (for the third time), and I think it's about time I pay a visit in attractions outside of London.
I'll be traveling on public transportation so would it be wise to plan a day trip combining Dover castle and Canterbury.?
If it is possible, which one should be my first stop, if my journey begins in London? What is the best route and means of transportation?

I'd appreciate some other ideas for daytrips outside of London (already traveled to Windsor, Rochester and Chatham).

Thank you very much for your time and attention,
Rony

Dover Dover to Southern Brittany
Posted: Sat November 1, 2008 05:29 AM UTC
We will be coming off a NCL cruise ship in Dover and then want to travel to Quimper in Southern Brittany to get to a Keycamp site near Benodet. We assume the easiest way is to catch a ferry over to Calais and then catch a train from Calais. We are from New Zealand and haven't traveled round the UK or France before, so any advice would be appreciated.

Folkestone Gluten Allergy
Posted: Fri August 29, 2008 11:08 AM UTC
I have coeliacs disease (gluten and wheat allergy).

My husbands family are going to Kalalas in Folkestone for his nephews birthday tomorrow and have asked me to come.

They have asked the resteraunt if they cater for somebody in my position but they dont even seem to know what gluten is.

I wonder if you have any further information on this for me?

Many thanks, Vanessa Lewis

Do you know of any restaurants in Canterbury that cater for a gluten free diet, or at least have a menu that identifies whether the meal contains gluten or not.

Thank you Wendy Green

Sevenoaks URGENT ! Self catering accomodation urgently needed for friends!
Posted: Fri June 27, 2008 03:47 PM UTC
Hi everyone,

Please help! 2 very close friends and their children need to spend several weeks in Sevenoaks as a member of their family is very ill and this will probably be their last time together. They live abroad and will be leaving on 29th evening, so this is short notice. They need self-catering accomodation, thus 2 adults and 2 children aged 4 and 3. No smoking. Preferably 2 bedrooms. Must be in Sevenoaks as they want to be as close to family as possible. B&B isn't going to work (would be fine for a weekend but not for a month). Please, any suggestions and if poss websites or phone numbers and brief descriptions. Apartment, cottages etc would be fine. Prices where possible. If anyone could reply by e-mail before 29th June to bamboo at eastnet dot com dot cn

Thank you all so much.

Dover Tour of Kent, including Canterbury and Dover, from Dover
Posted: Fri April 18, 2008 08:37 PM UTC
We will be arriving by cruise ship in Dover at the end of July and have about 10 hours (on a Thursday) to tour Kent, focusing on Dover, Canterbury and vicinity. Is there a commerical tour avilable that provides such a tour within our time frame? If not, we'll rent a car and do it on our own in which case suggestions on the sights to see (mostly historical) and travel route will be most welcome.

Thanks for the help.

Kent Leeds Castle and Dover Castle. Need advice on time.
Posted: Fri March 14, 2008 08:01 PM UTC
We're planning a trip to England in July (two adults, two teens). Four nights in London and three nights in Warwick. I want to plan a day trip to see Dover Castle and Leeds Castle, but I'm wondering if it's too much to take both castles in all one day? Would it be better to see Dover in one day (and take in the Cliff's) and see Leeds Castle on the way out of London (renting a car in Maidstone)?

I might be over thinking this. I'm just trying to balance out our sightseeing 'must see's' with enjoying the sight's at own pace versus a whirlwind of mega-squeezing things in (which I know my kids would hate). Leaving London, I'm not sure if we should rent a car in Maidstone ( with the thought of going to LeedsC.) or closer to were we'll be staying in Warwick.

Any advice would be great and much appreciated.

Thanks,
Lori

Dover To Dover from Paris
Posted: Mon March 3, 2008 06:00 PM UTC
We are planning on travelling in the late summer and since we have never visited Europe, outside of London, plan on flying in to Paris for a quick look-around and head to Dover later that day. We want to spend one night there and take a cruise starting the next day via Iceland and Eastern Canada ending up in New York. Does the Eurorail from Paris stop before it gets to London? Is there a train to get us back out to Dover once we end up in London? My preference would be to disembark at Calais and take surface transportation to Dover. Is that possible? Thanks very much - in anticipation.

Kent Bus to Ightham Mote
Posted: Fri February 22, 2008 04:31 PM UTC
I will be in London the first weekend in October and am planning a day trip into
Kent to see Ightham Mote now that it has been renovated by the National Trust.
I am thinking of taking the Autocar 222 bus from Borough Green to Tonbridge,
getting off as close as possible to Ivy Hatch, from where I would walk to
Ightham Mote. The two bus stops that look possible to me are Back Lane at Ivy
Hatch and Plaxtol Church. To judge from the map, Back Lane looks slightly
closer to Ightham Mote by road but which would be the better stop for walking to Ightham Mote, possibly using local paths, or should I choose a different bus? I use public transportation whenever possible. Thank you.

Dover Transportation to Dover Castle from Cruise Ship
Posted: Mon February 4, 2008 02:29 PM UTC
We will be on a cruise ship, visiting Dover for one day -- a Friday in April. We would like to see Dover Castle on our own that day; the cruise ship does not offer its own excursion/transportation. We are in our early 40s and generally good health for walking. Question: how far of a walk would it be from the cruise ship to the castle? What other transportation methods are available to get from the cruise ship to Dover Castle? I'm also looking for street maps of Dover, including the castle and nearby town, to find our way around and not get lost getting back from the castle to the ship.

Thanks,
Lynda

Dover Heathrow to Dover
Posted: Thu January 31, 2008 04:44 PM UTC
We will be arriving Heathrow and taking a cruise out of Port of Dover (terminal 2) I am assuming that train is the best means of transportation, however, what are the station points called? According to my information it is Dover Pier to Central London - Victoria or Charing Cross Stations, but I can't find these listed in the options.
Thanks for your help.
