The nearest station is Selling, which is on the line from London Victoria to Dover, just before Canterbury East. Walking from Selling Station takes 20 minutes.
From Platform 2 follow the path by the footbridge down the embankment to the field, then turn right and follow the narrow footpath that runs parallel to the railway.
At the end of the path, turn left on to Fox Lane, and walk 50 m until you reach the footpath on the right. Take the path, which begins like a track, leaving the hedge to your left.
Keep going to and through an industrial-scale orchard. The field rises slightly and the path goes alongside a hedge until you reach Rhode Common.
Turn left and walk 450m along Rhode Common until you see the gate on your right.
The second nearest station is Chilham, which is on the line from Ashford to Canterbury West. Cycling from Chilham Station takes 20-25 minutes. (50-60 minutes walking, on roads with no pavement or verge - not recommended.)
