How to Find Us: By Road
If you are using Satellite Navigation, insert the postcode ME4 4TZ and use your Satellite Navigation system in conjunction with the brown tourist signs to find the visitor car park and entrance to The Historic Dockyard Chatham.
NB: When referring to "brown tourist signs" in the text below, this refers to both brown anchor signs and brown signs with the words "The Historic Dockyard" on.
The quickest and easiest route to The Historic Dockyard by road is via the A2/M2 junction 1 then follow the brown tourist signs and use the A289 (Wainscott Bypass) and the Medway Tunnel straight to our front door!
From Junctions 1 and 4 of the M2:
Follow the A289 to the Medway Tunnel. At the tunnel follow signs to Chatham and the brown tourist signs to the Visitor Entrance and car park at the north end of the site.
From Junction 3 of the M2 and Junction 6 of the M20:
Follow the signs to Chatham, A229, then A230 and A231 and the brown tourist signs to the Visitor Entrance and car park at the north end of the site.
We have ample parking for cars, minibuses and coaches.
Parking is free – please park in the Historic Dockyard car park.
Our offices are in ‘The Joiners Shop’. This is beyond a road barrier to the left of the main museum entrance. Please ask the security staff in the office next to the road barrier for directions to the Joiners Shop (we are around 30 metres along the road on the right hand side). If you report to reception we will collect you from there.
