Leeds Castle has partnered with the 10x Stagecoach Bus service to conveniently stop inside the car park during select timetable stops along the Maidstone/Ashford route. This new development means that customers will no longer have to navigate the busy A20 road to access public transport, making their journey safer and more straightforward.
Extended Route for Greater Accessibility
In addition to the new stopping point, the x10 Stagecoach Bus route has been extended to terminate at Maidstone East Train Station. The bus timetable has also been adjusted to align with train services from Victoria, ensuring that travel plans can remain seamless and efficient. Whether coming from the train station or jumping on the bus, getting to the venue has never been easier!
Special Offer for Public Transport Users
To make visits even more rewarding, there’s a special Green Travel Offer for public transport users: a 20% discount on ticket box admission. Customers just need to show a valid train or bus ticket from the day of their visit to enjoy this exclusive discount. This is a way to thank visitors for choosing sustainable travel options.
A Commitment to Green Travel
This improvement is part of the ongoing green travel initiative, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. The aim is to reduce the carbon footprint, increase accessibility, and strengthen connections within the local community. By making public transport more accessible and affordable, the venue hopes to encourage more visitors to choose eco-friendly travel options.
