Parking in Bath


Car parked in Bath

There are a number of places to park in Bath, but sadly there are not many places to park for free and most street parking in Bath is residents only. The council heavily encourages you to use the park and ride system rather than use the city centre for parking. One of your best bets is to go to one of the long stay parking areas in Bath, which are sign posted throughout the city. These are reasonably priced (about 6 pounds for up to 6 hours parking) so shouldnt break the bank. If you must park in the centre, details of parking in Bath can be found by clicking here with most operating on a pay and display basis.

Southgate is the main shopping centre in Bath so this is the best place to park if you plan to shop and want to be central. There are cheaper options further from Bath city centre though.
