Cirencester -> Kemble??

btph · 17 Jan 2009 at 16:48

Just wondering if its possible to walk from the town centre in Cirencester to the train station in Kemble?

Anyone familiar with it?

It's possible to walk from anywhere to anywhere on the same bit of land.

Judging by google maps it looks possible. I wouldnt walk on the A429 though unless theres a footpath. Theres what looks like a country lane running parellel to the east of it that might be better.

EDIT IGNORE THAT, my google maps werent right.

I’m sure you can, it's 5miles but have a look here for taxis: http://www.kembleairport.com/transport

Easy enough to walk but not done it myself.

Wouldn't want to do it in the Dark though as the roads quite fast and Windy

Yup, lots of trees on that stretch and completely unlit, with no pavements. I wouldn't want to walk it in the dark or bad weather tbh.

I wouldn't recommend it. There are regular buses which are tied into the train timetable. If you do have to wait there's a nice pub next to the station (opposite side from the bus stop).

I think you can also get a National Express coach from Cirencester to Swindon station.

Thanks chaps,

As most of you have pointed out, yes it would be possible. But to be honest its on the edge of possible. I drove it yesterday in the bad weather and I really wouldn't have wanted to walk it. Today in the nicer weather, and daylight I might have attempted it.

For future reference I would only walk if if you really really had too. And really try and avoid the dark hours.

There are probably some unlit footpaths across fields, but again I'd avoid the dark!

Cheers again for the info :-)
