Shepherdswell is just off of the A2.
There is a set of traffic lights near Lydden, not far from Dover, and you must turn (left coming from London, or right coming from Dover) at these lights, heading for Shepherdswell and Eythorne. After following the road for a few miles, you will enter the village, and the turning is to the left just after the shop.

There is a small car-park at the station, and that could easily be used due to the lack of cars that park there. The area is pretty safe, so no need for any worrying about the safeness of your vehicle.

By train, take a London Victoria service from Dover Priory, and alight at Shepherdswell, which is the second station.
Alternatively, take a train from London Victoria on a Dover Priory service and alight at Shepherdswell.
There does not appear to be any decent bus services, but there may be at least one.

As far as I am aware, there are no public toilets in the area. However, when the East Kent Railway is open, there is a toilet block there.
Regarding food, there is a shop at the top of the hill, as well as a pub. There are no take-aways that I know of.

I do not believe there are any hotels or B&Bs in the village, however, there are plenty in nearby Dover.

South East Gen

The light is good most of the day so the sun should not be a problem.
There is a tunnel at the Southbound end of the station, which can be a good background for photos.
Looking Northbound, there is the traditional working signal box, a few unused sidings dating from the Colonel Stephens era, and a nice straight view up the line towards Snowdown.
There are many nice photos available of the heritage stock on the East Kent Railway next door.
