By road

Car parking in central Bath is restricted as a result of the limited amount of space available. The information put together in this document should enable you to understand the options you have for parking in Bath and help you to decide on the best solution for you.

• In the first instance we recommend that you do not come to Bath by car. We are very close to the bus and train station (2 – 5 minutes walk). Nowhere in Bath is more than a 20 minutes stroll and bus services are very good. If this is not possible, the following options are available:
• There is a public car park very close to Abbey Green, in Manvers Street. Manvers Street is a long stay car park. You can park in it 24 hours a day. It is free overnight from 20.00 until 08.00. Charges are:
  Up to 2 hrs £2.80, 3 hrs £4.00, 4 hrs £5.00, 6 hrs £7.00, 8 hrs £9.50, Over 8 hrs £12.00.
• If this is full then try the car park in the Southgate shopping centre which is also £12 for 24 hours.
• Street parking is free every evening from 18.00 until 08.00 and all day on Sundays in designated boxes and on single yellow lines.
• For visitors who stay several days and will not need their vehicle during their visit, we can direct you to where parking is FREE – just outside the city centre parking zone. This will involve a pleasant fifteen minutes’ stroll back to the city centre.
