Navigation Notes

Line 2 on the map.

The first stage of the journey will take you to Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Take your choice of two tracks to get there:

1: Direct on the A21 and A26. Boring!

2: Wandering the leafy lanes off the main roads to visit Churchill’s home at Chartwell, Anne
Boleyn’s home at Hever, and / or Viscount de L’Isle’s family home, the 650+ year-old Penshurst
Place. Even if you elect not to visit any of these places it’s a much more interesting trip through the
rural roads of “The Garden of England”.

Leaving London

There’s no easy way to escape the great urban sprawl that is London. One option is to simply
make your way to the London Orbital, the M25, the great ring road that encircles the city, and head
south to Interchange 5, the intersection with the A21.

GPS 51.2914,0.1426 at the A21/M25 interchange.

If you are approaching Interchange 5 from the east watch for a blue and white sign on an
overbridge above the road that says “Sevenoaks / Hastings A21”. Get into the right hand lane as
indicated by on-road signs because the lanes divide just up ahead. Follow similar signs to merge
on to the A21.
