Tilbury Ferry alternative.
Hopefully the ferry will be reinstated. Talks are ongoing. Should this occur then this route makes quite a lot of sense.
See here for how to get to Coalhouse Fort.
From Coalhouse Fort it is only a little over 3 miles to Tilbury Fort via the ECP. The Ferry is nearby, catch the Ferry to Gravesend and pick up the ECP on the South bank. Follow the ECP West as it winds around the marshes to the North of Swanscombe.
You should make time to visit the memorial to Pocahontas in the grounds of St George's Church, Gravesend.
They are currently building a housing estate at Rosherville, closing the ECP/TP. You can find a way through to rejoin the path at Crete Hall Road.
If you want to do this section even though the ferry is out of action, then it is easy to park at Bluewater and catch the bus to Gravesend. Once at Greenhithe there is another bus back to Bluewater. These buses run frequently.
Once at Greenhithe see here again for how to continue.
