Stansted Airport Transfers

1. Hertford is a county town just 20 miles away, with a rich history and excellent shops and restaurants. Visit the castle or museum, based in a seventeenth-century townhouse. Stansted airport transfers get you here within 40 minutes.
2. Braintree in Essex is a little closer at 17 miles, and you can be there within 25 minutes by road. It’s pretty and characterful with quaint streets, and some lovely open spaces. Take in the museum, or the fascinating Kelvedon Hatch nuclear bunker.
3. Chelmsford, Essex’s only city, is a similar distance to the southeast. Check out the museum, catch a cricket game, or visit the cathedral, Shire Hall or the Grade II Hylands House. There are also plenty of parks, and three retail centres for shopaholics.
4. Stevenage is within 50 minutes, lying some 25 miles to the west. Its old town has an authentic feel with some intriguing, unique shops and restaurants. Meanwhile, Fairlands Valley Park has 120 acres of open space, plus a sizeable sailing lake.
5. Duxford is 20 miles or not more than 40 minutes’ drive north. This Cambridgeshire village has two listed medieval parish churches, and it’s in the Doomsday Book. It has a branch of the Imperial War Museum, showing nearly 200 aircraft, vehicles and more across seven exhibition buildings.

Finally of course, with all of London’s attractions no more than an hour away, everything the UK’s capital has to offer can be reached easily with a Stansted Airport transfer.

1. Saffron Walden Museum: Just 10 miles or some 20 minutes away with a Stansted Airport Transfer, this museum is in a meadow by the twelfth-century Walden Castle near medieval Saffron Walden. Collections cover ancient cultures, ceramics, archaeology and more.
2. Bridge End Garden: A similar distance away, these beautifully kept gardens were created in 1840. They’re split into sections, from the formal (such as the rose area and hedge maze) to the less structured (e.g. the wilderness garden.)
3. Mountfitchet Castle: Just a couple of miles or minutes away with a Stansted Airport transfer, this Norman motte and bailey castle and village has been rebuilt on its original ancient site. There are numerous buildings to visit, as animals roam freely.
4. Hatfield Forest Nature Reserve: Again just a couple of miles from the airport, it’s owned and managed by the National Trust. It encompasses the UK’s only remaining intact royal hunting forest, and dates from Norman times. Offering lots to do, it’s a cracking place to spend an afternoon.
5. Audley End Miniature Railway: A little further afield at 10 miles or some 20 minutes by road, this is a great family excursion, complete with a fairy and elf walk. There’s a play area and picnic tables or cafes, making for a well-organised trip.
6. Cammas Hall Farm lies within five miles of Stansted and has a shop a tea barn and a maize maze, plus you can pick fruit. There’s also a sandpit, play area and mini quad bikes.

For disabled travellers, the assistance desk is at the front of the main terminal, and it’s staffed 24/7. There are induction loops for the hard of hearing, alongside special signage for the partially sighted.

Accessible toilets, which parents with children may use, are on the main concourse and in Departures. Staff can arrange for a wristband identifying passengers with autism, while a transit system linking Departures and the gates is wheelchair-accessible. If you wish, you can take your own wheelchair right up to the aircraft.
