We were hoping to walk to Terminal 3, but it appears we can't do that. However, it appears we might be able to cycle through a tunnel, and we'll attempt that tomorrow. It may also be possible to take a train from the Hayes and Harlington station into one of the terminals. We'll have to check that option.
We can see the terminals from where we are ... but getting there is not a straightforward and easy process!!
Yo need to get onto Tunnel Road which is accessed from the A4 and the big roundabout with a plane in the middle. It's busy! I came through the tunnel in the other direction after arriving at Terminal 3. There was a bike path in that direction. Traffic inside Heathrow is a very heavy and there are lots of lanes, so I just rode on the pavement.
