There are three Park & Ride services on the outskirts of the city which operate fast, frequent services into the city centre, offering a hassle free, cost effective way of reaching the city centre. Parking in Bath is no fun at weekends (especially when Bath have a rugby match!) and we would recommend P&R at these times.
