There are plenty of good local transport options to help you get around whilst you’re here. These can be particularly useful if you are planning on using public transport to walk linear sections of the Path. Our top tip is to use public transport to travel to your start point in the morning and walk back on yourself, so you don’t have to rush to catch the last bus or train. We also recommend thoroughly researching available ferry services so that you don’t get caught out at one of the 13 river crossings you’ll encounter along the way.
