Visitors arriving from the London direction need to follow the A2 towards Dover. Take the Canterbury turn-off (this is the only one for the city). The slip way merges to a dual carriageway. Half a mile onwards, at the first roundabout, continue straight-ahead along the dual carriageway which will be skirting the old city walls..

Follow the road round to the right at the next roundabout, following the line of the city wall until meeting the third roundabout (Habitat on your right). Continue straight ahead at this and the next (fourth) roundabout (Police station to your right). Again continue straight on, but ease into the right hand lane in preparation for a right-hand turn at the fifth roundabout.

Turn right at this roundabout and away from the city wall. Keep in the left hand lane, and take the slip road left (at Waitrose and Blockbuster Video), just after a set of lights at a pedestrian crossing and before the main traffic lights.

Continue along to the mini-roundabout, turning right along this road (A257 to Sandwich) past the prison on the left and - after a steep hill - the Army barracks on the left. Continue, past the Canterbury Golf Club and a road junction (both on the left).

Polo Farm is less than half a mile past the Golf Club, on the left hand side of the road just after a long lay-by. Polo Farm is clearly sign-posted outside the club gates and grounds as the main road passes a long layby.

• On busy match days relief car parking is available next to the lower all-weather pitch (drive straight through the car park).
  
  
• Coaches are welcome but please park sensibly to the side of the main area or in the lay-by just before the main entrance.
  
  
• On busy shopping days (especially while Canterbury undergoes town-centre redevelopment) the traffic around the ring-road is terrible. Please allow 20/25 minutes extra to negotiate the ring-road system from start to finish.
  
  
• Alternatively, approach the club from the Bridge turn off. Although slightly longer, the detour adds little to your journey time. The route is shown in pink on the direction map (click thumb-size map alongside).
