Where to park in Bath City Center tomorrow for under an hour?

Raymond Lin · 6 Jan 2023 at 17:46

I need to go to Bath tomorrow, near the Bath Abbey, can anyone recommend somewhere to park for an hour within walking distance of the Abbey? Happy to pay, just easy access, in and out of the city. Will be arriving from the north side.

Thanks

There's a car park at the Podium which is nearby.

Last time I was there in a car traffic was a nightmare going into and out of the central bit surrounded by the river, so I'd avoid going any further into the city than needed... I'd just take the Lansdown park and ride tbh which should drop you off just north of the Abbey. Worked pretty well when I used it and services were about every 15 mins so shouldn't have to wait long.

Charlotte St car park, or you can use Victoria Park and walk in past the Royal Crescent

Be prepared for traffic, lots of traffic.

Park and Ride is pretty good at Bath. I use the one by the Racecouse (Lansdown), which assuming you are coming from Hereford will be the easiest to get to.

I think it was Manvers Street which I've used in the past a couple of times as it was close by

I'm surprised nobody has said Bristol yet!

Parking in Bristol can be just as expensive as Bath.

This is probably your best option ^^

Another vote for park & ride. Also plenty of free parking areas near(ish) the centre, - its such a small place that most places are withing walking distance!

Failing that, if you really need to park in the centre, you might as well just go for the big Southgate car park - that's about as central as your going to get!

Only ever used park and ride in bath. Wouldn’t even wish my worst enemy to sit in traffic in Bath.

Download Justpark, it will change your life, and no I'm not joking. Anyone can rent out their parking spots too so not only does it cover all the council / on-street / NCP types, it also includes private bays. As a Londoner, it's one of my most important apps.

I used that to park at a pub when I went to Wembley.

Ps I parked at Charlotte Street car park.
