How to find the Ferry Inn

The Ferry is located on the Appledore to Wittersham Road, at Stone on the Isle-of-Oxney.

A road-sign marking the turning to the Ferry has recently been erected on the B2080, the Tenterden to Appledore Road, on its approach to Appledore village.

Use the Google map to find the Ferry, or read on for directions from the surrounding towns and villages.

From Tenterden, go down the Appledore Road (B2080) towards Rye. About half a mile after you have passed through series of sharp bends and a half a mile before you reach Appledore, there is a crossroads marking the turning to the Ferry. Turn right towards Stone and Wittersham, and the Ferry is about 2 miles along, before you reach Stone village.

Alternatively, from Tenterden, you can take the Wittersham Road (B2082) towards Rye. Pass through Wittersham village. After a mile, there is a sharp right hand corner (Wittersham Stocks) where the main road bears right towards Rye. Carry straight on, however, towards Stone and Appledore. When you pass the Stone cricket ground (once the Kent cricket ground) the Ferry is half a mile futher along on the same road.

From Ashford, travel to Tenterden. After you pass Homewood School, turn left down the B2080 towards Rye, and follow the first set of directions from Tenterden, given above.

From Rye, go over the railway bridge on the Peasmarsh Road and turn right immediately after the bridge onto the Military Canal Road, towards Appledore. This road ends in a T-junction just outside Appledore. Turn left towards the centre of the village, and turn immediately left again, down Court Lodge Road, which is opposite the Black Lion and Appledore Church. At the end of Court Lodge Road, turn left and the Ferry is a half a mile down the road on the left.

From Hastings, go to Rye and drive around the town. At the roundabout on the far side of Rye, turn first left towards Peasmarsh (also signposted to London, curiously). Over the railway bridge take the first right, and follow the directions above from Rye.
