Getting here
How to get here
Arriva buses 1 and 101 leave every 10 minutes from Chatham Station or Chatham Waterfront Bus Station. Disembark at St George’s Centre bus stop. From there, follow Waterfront Way past the retail centre, then take the dockyard entrance path, crossing the moat via a stone bridge. The route takes around seven minutes and runs through regenerated waterfront spaces.
The dockyard is at Main Gate Road, Chatham. From the town centre, cross over the restored river basin before reaching the grand stone gatehouse. The visitor entrance sits at the end of a tree-lined avenue through the historic core, clearly signposted with dockyard flags and naval signage.
