Eastbourne from Kent - best route?

[vrsmxtb]

Hi folks,

Commuting to Eastbourne from NW Kent next week, any ideas on the quickest, least congested route down. Most common route finder result is either the Tunbridge Wells A228/A21/A267/A22 route or through Maidstone/B2162/A271/A259.

Cheers

Yeah, I didn't put the full road sequences down.

I've been doing the A228/B2161/B2160/A21/B2100/A267 at Mark Cross, basically to avoid TW. I still got stuck in traffic around King's Hill on the A228, but I can't see any way round that.

Looking at the map, I think I've found a much easier cut around TW without going into the countryside.

What about coming off the A264 before the A21 (this bit was rammed last time I did and the main hold-up) down Pembury High St, little lane called Comford Lane/Hall's Hole Road/Forest Rd/A267?

That could work. There are two options.

Stay on the A228 and turn left at the lights here, then right here.

Turn left here, right at the lights here, then left here.

Worth a punt. If it doesn't pan out, you can always go back to the route you're currently using.

Yep that's the small lane I looked at. I'll give it a try tomorrow, thanks.

Just "driven" it on streetview - looks very, very narrow! Still, should be quicker and less stressful than queuing traffic.
