Hertfordshire Walker: Travelling by bus

Bus stop in Old Knebworth close to the start of a walk

We have added bus stop locations to the interactive maps on Hertfordshire Walker for those who prefer using public transport. We are also updating all the walks to include directions to the closest bus stops to our walks to enable walkers to plan their bus journeys.

So if you want to travel by bus you just need to do the following.

First choose one of the 300 free walks on Hertfordshire Walker then scroll down to the interactive map at the bottom of the walk directions page.

Click on the map then zoom in (using the + sign) to find the bus stop nearest to the start point. The example below is a section of a map for Walk 107: Preston West Loop.

You will see in the example above that the bus stop is a blue and white icon with writing alongside. The two bus stops on the map above are called 'Red Lion PH'. They are the closest to the start of the walk, one on either side of the road.

Next, open Intalink, the free Hertfordshire online bus schedule site. Intalink is a collaboration between Hertfordshire County Council, the bus and train companies who operate across the county, and the 10 local district and borough councils.

Once you are on the Intalink page, enter the name of the village you are travelling to in the 'Explore' field. You will then be taken to a page showing all the bus stops in Preston, Hertfordshire. Next click on 'Get me there' and type in your starting point. In order to cut bus journey time you could type in the nearest train station. Be sure to also check for the return journey so that you are not left stranded, some services are limited.
