Getting to Allington Castle
Allington Castle is located near Maidstone in Kent, so your closest train station is Maidstone East or Maidstone West, both roughly a 10 to 15 minute taxi ride away. Trains run regularly from London Victoria and St Pancras International, making it straightforward from the city. If you are flying in, Gatwick Airport is your best bet, sitting around 40 miles away with good road and rail connections into Maidstone. There is parking available at the castle, but spaces can be limited so carpooling is a smart move. Arriving early helps avoid any scramble. For the evening, book your taxi home in advance. Local firms like Maidstone Taxis are reliable, but they get busy on weekends.
