Road directions
The parking location is just off the A20 at the round-a-bout with the South Military Road, follow this road for a short distance and you will see a bus stop and a public toilet block. You will be able to park just around the corner.
Parking
Parking is on the road side, this is a small estate but all was well and looked fine.
Public transport
There is a bus stop right by the footpath, Stagecoach route 61 would appear to call at St David's Avenue from Dover.
It is about 2k walk from Dover Priory Station.
Amenities
Just up the road is a local Post Office and a local shop. There are also public toilets near the bus stop.
Accommodation
Plenty of accomodation in Dover.
Railway Gen Group
South East Gen
Photographic notes
The line at this location is East - West so sunlight is not a big problem and there are views in both direction. The distance from the tunnel to the bridge will only allow about 6 car train, and you need to keep an eye up the tunnel for approaching trains as it is possible to get caught out as the train exits the tunnel (you can see right though the tunnel). The view towards Dover is good and trains have to slow down for the sharp curve on the approach and exit to the South of Dover Priory so you will not get caught out. The height of the bridge wall is low enough to have a tripod set up for videoing, but I would say the sound of crashing waves may put some people off.
