Getting to Kingcombe

Kingcombe Car Share Scheme

In line with our environmental ethos, where possible we like to put those coming by public transport in touch with those travelling by car.

If you are travelling by car and are able to pick up fellow course attendants, from a convenient railway station at time suitable to you, please let us know. You may be thankful of an extra person to help navigate the last few miles!

By public transport

Kingcombe is accessible by public transport but requires planning due to an infrequency of local services. We recommend using the Transport Direct website www.transportdirect.info to plan your journey.

We are only 4 miles from Maiden Newton Station (Bristol to Weymouth line); 12 miles from Dorchester South Station (London Waterloo to Weymouth line); 9 miles from Crewkerne Station (London Waterloo to Exeter St David’s line).
