Taxis in Goudhurst
Pre-booked taxis from Goudhurst to the local stations, Tunbridge Wells, Tunbridge Wells Hospital and every London airport. Licensed local drivers and a fixed price agreed when you book, 24 hours a day.
Your local taxi in Goudhurst
Goudhurst sits on a hilltop in the High Weald, about 10 miles east of Tunbridge Wells, where the A262 crosses the B2079. St Mary’s Church stands at the top of the village and the main street drops steeply down to the pond. The parish spreads well beyond the centre, taking in Kilndown, Curtisden Green, Bedgebury Cross, Iden Green and Winchet Hill. We pick up from the High Street and the lanes off it, from farmhouses and oasts out towards Curtisden Green, and from the forest side near Bedgebury.
Every journey is a fixed price agreed when you book, so there is no meter running on the narrow lanes. Because Goudhurst is outside Tunbridge Wells, a trip that starts and finishes outside the town includes the miles for the car to reach you and get back. Call 01892 888888 and we will confirm the price for your exact journey, or send the details through our online quote form.
- Off the hill to the trains: Marden is often quickest, with Paddock Wood and Tunbridge Wells for more choice.
- Bedgebury days out, for the pinetum, the trails and Go Ape, with a timed return.
- Boarding school runs at the start and end of term, booked ahead so the car is planned.
- Fixed prices from outside town: Goudhurst journeys are quoted for your address before you travel.
Getting off the hill: Goudhurst’s stations, lanes and the A21
Goudhurst has no station of its own, so most rail journeys start at Marden or Paddock Wood on the South Eastern Main Line. The A262 runs west to Lamberhurst and the A21, and east towards Cranbrook. With limited buses, many households book cars for trains, school, hospital and the airports.
Marden station
Marden is roughly 5 miles north of the village and is often the quickest station from Goudhurst. Southeastern trains run to London Charing Cross. We meet late trains if you book ahead.
Paddock Wood station
About 7 to 8 miles away, Paddock Wood has trains to London and Tonbridge on the main line, plus the Medway Valley Line to Maidstone West. See our Paddock Wood page for pickups there.
Bedgebury Pinetum and Forest
Bedgebury, run by Forestry England, lies just south of the village off the B2079. Visitors come for the conifer collection, the cycling and walking trails and Go Ape. We drop off and collect at the main visitor entrance.
Bethany School, Curtisden Green
Bethany is an independent day and boarding school for ages 11 to 18 at Curtisden Green, about 3 miles north of Goudhurst. Families can book cars for the start and end of term.
Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury
The main hospital for the area sits beside the A21 at Pembury, with an A&E department and outpatient clinics. We can wait and bring you home if you ask when booking.
Tunbridge Wells for a day out
For shopping, theatre or a mainline train with more choice of times, people head west along the A262 and A21 into Tunbridge Wells. We use Tunbridge Wells station as a regular drop-off.
