From the train station

Leave the rail station by the main exit. There is a street directly in front of you called MANVERS STREET. Proceed along Manvers passing the bus station on your left hand side. Now follow directions from the bus station.

From the bus station

The Bus Station has been temporarily moved due to the redevelopment of the 'Southgate Shopping Area'. Ask for directions to 'Bath Abbey'. Abbey Green lies just South of the Abbey. We are opposite 'The Crystal Palace' pub. Most locals will tell you how to get here.

For the more adventurous: Standing with the Bus station and Multistory car park DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU, cross the street ahead at the pedestrian crossing, pass up the few steps opposite and walk between the buildings down a short street to the next pedestrian crossing. Cross over again, and walk behind the Halifax and McDonald's which face you, so that you walk past them and they are on your right. On you left is the long blue hoarding marking the redevelopment. At the next junction you will see the main shopping street ahead with Boots drug store on the corner. Next to Boots is Marks & Spencer, just beyond but beside and to the left of M&S is Abbeygate Street. Walk down Abbeygate street until you reach 'Blacks' store at the end of the street. To your left you will now find an Archway leading into Abbey Green, On entering the square No Three is to your right.

Driving to the door...

You will see that there is much redevelopment in the city.

Neither car park is more than a few minutes away.
