There is a small car park and spaces always seem to be available.
By train; hourly service Charing Cross - Ashford - Dover. No buses appear to serve the village.
No facilities at the station or the village. Nearest village with facilities is Lympne about 2 miles south, otherwise Hythe is about four miles away.
Being close to the Kent Coast, there should be no problem finding Bed and Breakfasts.
Line runs approximately east-west, so best around mid-day. The line is straight, so there is plenty of visual warning of approaching trains, even Eurostars. Best views are from the up platform and the CTRL is clearly visible. The road over bridge has high parapets so is only suitable if you have steps.
Unlikely to be suitable for video owing to noise from the parallel M20.
