We advise all visitors to consider using one of Bath's Park & Ride services to save money on parking charges, avoid the stress of driving in the city centre, and help improve air quality. 

Bath has three Park & Ride services situated on each side of the city to suit motorists approaching from all directions, which operate seven days a week. Buses run into the city centre from all three Park & Ride sites at least every 15 minutes, with a journey time of 10 minutes. All buses are fully accessible for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
