Travel by Bus
Taking the bus can be convenient, quicker, and cheaper than travelling via car to Cambridge, and provides environmental benefits too. Car journeys contribute a significant amount towards our overall carbon footprint, and Public Transport allows you to reach a central point such as Cambridge directly rather than diverting via a car park.
If you regularly travel the same journey, or you're planning in advance, you can make cost savings as the cost of running a car is more than just the cost of petrol. Public transport means no car insurance, tax, MOT or car maintenance.
There are a number of buses that stop close to the site. Local bus stops are shown on the map below. The bus stop map has been extracted from the www.cambridgeshirebus.info site, which can also be used to access real-time bus information by clicking on the bus stop of interest.
