Poland is around 600 miles from the UK, flights take around two hours. Airports include Bydgoszcz (near Torun), Wroclaw (near Karpacz) and Warsaw (for Augustow). A number of low cost carriers are now operating flights from the UK:

Coach travel has been popular with budget travellers, but takes an exhausting 24 hours +, though at the moment some air fares are even less expensive. It can be enjoyable to meet people on the way and when you finally arrive you really do have the feeling that you've travelled.

The road journey is fairly straightforward motorway through Brugge in Belgium, Antwerp in Holland and via Berlin in Germany. Once in Poland have a map and be alert, travel along the major A roads can be a little disconcerting, don't always expect to find the road clear around the next fast corner, in traffic there are plenty of overtaking maneuvers which just wouldn't be acceptable in the leafy lanes of Berkshire; and if you have two cars to choose from take the bigger one with bumpers.
