Dover by train

A trail from the platform and a cabinet of curiosities

Dover's central station connects directly to the Community Trail. The Woodman Museum is a longer walk south and opens seasonally, so check its dates before planning a museum-focused stop.

Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
