The nearest railway station is in Gloucester, which is served by trains from London Paddington (frequently with a change at Swindon), Cardiff and Birmingham (New Street). The railway station is just across the road from the central bus station, from which there are regular buses to Huntley. Full timetables can be found on stagecoachbus.com. There are two different bus routes serving Huntley:
1. Route 33, Gloucester to Ross-on-Wye and Hereford. These buses leave Gloucester on weekdays and Saturdays generally from 0850 to 1750 hrs and take about 20 minutes to Huntley.
2. Route 24 and 24A, Gloucester to Mitcheldean and Coleford. The buses leave Gloucester generally on weekdays and Saturdays at 20 minutes past every two hours the hour from 1020 to 2120 hrs, and take about 20 minutes to get to Huntley.
Alight at the Red Lion pub and continue in the same direction up the road for about 150 yards to Forest Gate on the left. If you want to be a bit cheeky you can ask the driver if he will stop at Forest Gate (especially if you have a lot of baggage) but don’t be upset if he won’t!
To get back to Gloucester from Huntley there is a bus stop opposite Forest Gate which operates for both routes. We can provide bus times for you. You must signal the bus to stop. Please be aware that country buses frequently run early as well as late, depending on how busy the route has been, and you should therefore allow at least 5 minutes leeway on these arrival times.
Coaches travel daily from London (Victoria Coach Station) and most other large cities to Gloucester, arriving at the Central bus station. Fares are much cheaper than the rail fares. Full details are obtainable from the National Coach Company in your area.
It is possible to hire a taxi from the railway station. Fares vary widely depending on the time of day and will cost more on a weekend. As a guide the price is likely to be in the range from £8.00 to about £15.00.
