Q. Can I get to Ferry Meadows by public transport?
There is no bus service into Ferry Meadows Country Park itself, but it is only a few minutes walk from bus stops in Orton Wistow or on Oundle Road. There are two options:
Option 1 - Catch the Stagecoach Citi 1 bus to Orton Wistow (Ferryview), which is the first stop in Orton Wistow. When you alight, cross the road and continue in the same direction as the bus. Past the next junction, there is a path through the trees. Follow this and then take the right hand path when it splits. This will bring you out to the level crossing at Ferry Meadows station. Cross the railway to reach the park. To get back to Peterborough, simply retrace your steps and catch the bus in the same place that you got off, as the bus route is a large circle. This route takes longer than option 2, but is a more frequent service, and will take you a little closer to Ferry Meadows.
Option 2 - Catch the Stagecoach service X4 from Bay 15 at the bus station inside Queensgate Shopping Centre. Go two stops past Orton Mere and get off at Cherry Orton Road, just before Notcutts. Cross the road, and walk along Ham Lane from the roundabout to Ferry Meadows. To return to Peterborough, retrace your steps and the bus will depart from the stop on the same side of the road as Notcutts.
