Minster-on-Sea is one of the biggest communities on Sheppey, stretching from the clifftop Leas and the beach up to Minster Abbey on the hill. We collect from every part of it, from the estates off Scocles Road to the bungalows near the seafront.
Minster sits close to the middle of the island, so you're only a few minutes from the A249 and the Sheppey Crossing. That makes it slightly quicker to most airports than central Sheerness, with Gatwick and London City usually the fastest runs.
