Ebbsfleet Valley car rental driving guide
Driving in and around Ebbsfleet
- The A2 running through the area, heading west through Dartford, through Bexleyheath and Welling, joining up with several London ring roads along the way. In the opposite direction, it runs past Gravesend and Rochester, becomes the M2 until just past Faversham and then is the A2 again, for Canterbury and the port of Dover, with its white cliffs.
- The A282, which can be reached from the A2 and takes you north over the Thames via the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge - that connects with the M25 ring road. Take the other turn from the A2 and head south for the M25 and Sevenoaks. From there, move onto the A21 for Tonbridge with its old castle and the pretty town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. The same road takes you through the rest of southern Kent past the historic town of Battle to Hastings and the wonderful Kent coast.
- From Tunbridge Wells you can also jump onto the A26, followed by the A27, for the wonderful city on the sea that is Brighton to the west, or charming Eastbourne to the east.
