Parking
If you are in a hurry you can park for free in the Siansburys car park in Bath for 90 mins. If you need a bit longer you can park for free for 3 hours at the top of Holloway in Bath. If you are prepared to walk 15 mins into town you can park for free in the Locksbrook area and walk along the river. Otherwise your best bet is Avon Street car park.

Cycling
You can cycle into Bath in about 20 minutes and there are lots of cycle racks. There are also lots of cycle tracks and paths. You can find out about some not the bathnes website and longer ones if you search on line for the National Cycle Network. Failing that you can make up your own routes. If you head south or west it is much hillier than if you head north or east!
