Parking in Bath

Uhtred · 29 Jan 2010 at 20:42

Hi there,

My Girlfriend and I are visiting Bath for the weekend and we need a good place to park tomorrow morning until the afternoon in the centre.

I've found a few places, ie the podium shopping centre and charlotte street but I can't find any info on prices.

We will be parking for 5+ hours, does anyone know approximate cost?

Thanks all.

PS if anyone has any recommendations of a place to eat in the evening please let me know! Thai perhaps?

Charlotte Street is pretty huge and is pay on exit so it rounded to nearest hour. I tend to use it. Its quite expensive but will try and find the prices online somewhere. There is a multi-story as well but its not great and the spaces are tiny

Edit: Pricing here - http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/BathNES/transportandstreets/Parking/carparkscouncil/Bath+Car+Parks.htm - £6 for upto 6 hours

THat's very helpful, Duke. Looks pretty close to the centre so I think we'll try there first

Thanks

No probs. I don't like Thai myself so can't help there but if you want something quiet and a bit different then try Beaujolais (www.beaujolaisbath.co.uk). Very nice inside, quite expensive but good service etc. Or Bottelinos for Italian (www.bottelinos.net/branches/bath.aspx) - both are 2 mins away from the car park.

I always used to park here - a little pay and display a short walk out from town. This was a few years ago, but it used to be pretty cheap, and always managed to find a spot, even though it's a small little car park.

Charlotte street is £4 minimum, best for the whole day I think. Theres a brand new multi storey opened in the centre but I'm yet to go in it, so dont know what prices are like.

If you are tight like me, park in Victoria Park for free

Not much room and pretty damp I would imagine not too good for the car.

my friend lives in a side street the other side of victoria park from the centre. i park outside her house for free and walk for 15-20 mins

there are lots of small streets round there you can park in if you are prepared to walk a bit

This is what I'd recommend aswell, it's also a nice area to walk into the town center from.

Yeah Charlotte Street is your best bet as you will be there all day, although if just popping in there is always Sainsbury's for free

Only just seen this thread! I've have said the new one underneath the Southgate development.

Re resteraunts, you can't beat Martinis! Well you can but that's the Bath Spa hotel or something equally £££.
