The M4 motorway joins Bath to London in the east and Wales in the west. The M5 links the city with the Midlands to the north, with Somerset, Devon and Cornwall to the south. Bath is best accessed from J18 of the M4.
Please use Bath's Park & Ride facilities wherever possible. In addition to Lambridge Park & Ride (see below) there are several Council run Park & Ride sites serving Bath City Centre which is just a few minutes walk from The Recreation Ground. Please follow this link for more information. Please note that, as these facilities are not run by Bath Rugby, we can accept no responsibility for them or information relating to them.

By train:
Bath Spa station, which is just a 5 minute walk from the Recreation Ground, is connected to London and the South West by Intercity services. Bath also has direct rail links to Cardiff, Salisbury and Southampton. Regular services to Bristol Temple Meads connect with services to Birmingham and the Midlands. National Rail enquiries: 08457 48 49 50. National Rail Enquiries website
By bus
The Recreation Ground is a five minute walk from Bath's main bus terminal and local services stop even closer to the ground. For details of the local bus services in and around Bath, visit First Group Somerset and Avon

To Bath City Centre
Follow directions to Lambridge Park & Ride but then continue on the A4. Now follow the map provided and use the parking located around the city centre. Please note that an experimental access system has been implemented recently which restricts access through the centre itself. Parking is at a premium and is not readily available at busy periods. Please be considerate and do not obstruct public driveways as this naturally alienates residents, thank you.
