Whch reminds me to correct my instructions abov ehow to get there - I had my A 289 and my A228 transposed. Correct version: -

Join the new Frindsbury bypass (A289) either from the A2, near the M2 junction, or from the Medway tunnel. Public transport - forget it unless you want to take hours by bus (if any) or at least a tenner by taxi, to achieve the equivalent of a ten minute drive from the nearest mainline railway stations (Rochester, Strood, Higham, Gravesend. No taxis or buses at Higham).

From the A289, Turn North onto the A228, heading for Thamesport and the Isle of Grain, at the big roundabout. Straight on at the first roundabout (about 4 miles). The second roundabout has three exits only. Do NOT go to High Halstow. In about 800 yards you will see more luminous chevrons than you have ever seen before. This is because the A228 turns right but quite often the trucks do not, but damage the scenery instead. You go (almost, do slow down first) straight on, onto Ratcliffe Highway or Fenn Street (different names, same road). In about 200 yards you will see the Fenn Bell on the right.
