Car parking

We have plenty of free parking at the museum, and disabled spaces near the manor.

Coaches

The angle of the turn through the museum entrance gates is acute; we therefore insist that all coaches must approach the museum via Bathwick Hill (see map) and the Claverton Down Road and not from the A36

(Bath / Warminster Road).

Please do not use Global Positioning system (GPS) or Satellite Navigation technology to direct coaches as the routes they give will cause you problems.

Coaches must be pre-booked, please see groups. For more detailed travel instructions please telephone us on T: 01225 823019.

Rail

The nearest railway station to the museum is the mainline station of Bath Spa (Great Western). There are always taxis available outside the train station. The trip to the museum takes approximately 15 minutes.

Bus

From the City Centre, take a No. 18 or 418 (orange bendy buses) or a No. U18 (blue buses), to the University of Bath via Bathwick Hill, and alight at The Avenue. The buses can be boarded at the Corn Street or Guildhall stops in the centre. Please note these buses do not stop at the new bus station near the railway station. The buses are very frequent. (Get off at the entrance to the University campus) The museum is well signed posted and is approximately ½ mile, downhill.
