Getting to the Roman Baths by car

From Salisbury:
Take the A36 into Bath and follow the "All Attractions" signs that lead to Charlotte Street car park. 

 

Alternatively, leave the A36 at the B3110, sign-posted to Norton St Philip, and follow the B3110 to Odd Down Park and Ride. It is marked Park and Ride SOUTH on the map. This road is not suitable for cars towing a caravan or for large vehicles.

 

From the South West:
The quickest and most straightforward route if you are travelling from a distance is likely to be via the M5 and M4 approaching Bath from the north and using the Lansdown Park and Ride, marked Park and Ride NORTH on the map.

Alternatively, approach on the A39 and use Newbridge Park and Ride (WEST) or approach on the A367 and use Odd Down Park and Ride (SOUTH). Odd Down Park and Ride is the larger and is recommended at peak holiday periods. Charlotte Street car park is clearly marked from each direction.

The centre of Bath is within easy walking distance for able-bodied people using the Park and Ride or any city centre car park. Park and Ride facilities are open Monday-Saturday 06.30 to 20.30.

 

From Bristol:
Take the A4 into Bath. For a day visit to Bath, we recommend Newbridge Park and Ride, which is on the A4 just after the bridge across the River Avon. It is marked Park and Ride WEST on the map.

To park in the city centre, continue along the A4 to Charlotte Street car park. This is the largest car park in Bath and is clearly marked on approach roads, follow the "All Attractions" signs.

 

From the M4:
Leave the M4 at Junction 18 and take the A46 towards Bath. For a day visit to Bath, we recommend Lansdown Park and Ride, clearly signposted from the A46/A420 junction at Cold Ashton. It is marked Park and Ride NORTH on the map.

 

Alternatively, follow the brown traffic signs saying 'Roman Baths' along the A46 and A4 to Bath and then the Roman helmet symbol to Charlotte Street car park.
