Driving

Wotton is close to the intersection of the M4 (E-W) and M5 (N-S) motorways, so is easy to get to by road. There are many Ferries and the Eurotunnel connecting the South East of England to the mainland Europe. Driving time to Dover or Folkstone is about 3.5 hours.

There is a ferry from Kristiansand to Hirtshals (Denmark-Germany-Holland-Belgium-France-England), but no Stavanger ferry anymore.

Train

The UK train system is not to quite the same standard of service as most continental rail services. Nevertheless, there is a frequent service from London Paddington to Bristol (either Parkway or Templemeads). The London Eurostar terminus is at St Pancras, linked to Paddington via the London Underground "Tube" system's Circle Line. Inclusive tickets are available.

Local Connections

Pickups can be arranged from either of the two Bristol train stations, Parkway or Templemeads.

We may be able to organise transport from London depending on times and demand. This is likely to be limited to one trip. Please let us know of your preferred options.
