- Parking
- Being a compact city, Bath is easy to get around - it only takes
15 minutes to walk from one end to the other. However, parking is at
a premium, so take advantage of the Park and Ride facilities if you
can.
The main central car parks are in Avon Street, Charlotte Street, Walcot Street, Ham Gardens, Manvers Street and Kingsmead Square. You can also park at the Sports Centre and Bath Cricket Club, both in North Parade Road, or in the smaller car parks in Broad Street, Sawclose and Walcot Street.
From 8.00am - 6.00pm Monday to Saturday, vehicles parked in central streets must display a ticket. Vehicles parked illegally or causing an obstruction are liable to be towed away. Tickets are available from machines on the streets. More information on parking in Bath is available from Bath & North East Somerset Council's Parking Services.

- The city centre is flat(ish) and there are plenty of racks to lock
your bike up reasonably securely. Getting out of Bath often means a
fairly steep hill climb but there are two flat routes - one out to
Bristol using the Bath
and Bristol cycle path, the second out towards
Bradford upon Avon using the Kennet
and Avon canal path along the beautiful
Limpley Stoke valley.
