I agree - went there year before last and hotel provided me with a parking permit enabling me to park in the street nearby. If its like everywhere else, I can only assume that the situations got worse since then.

Bath used to be great, but it has been many years since I was last there, so I guess times have changed a bit since then

im there all the time my gf's at uni there... absolutely gorjus place, lots to do & see.

... traffic... an absolute nightmare. i follow a rule, hit the city after 9pm and if your luky you wont be stuck in traffic for ages

... naa it really is a bit hit and miss but mostly hit, usually traffic is crazy, theres vvv few places to park in the centre, but there is one multistory carpark.

... be careful for speed cameras, take your tom tom as theres a few kicking around.

lovely place though

Thanks for the info so far, don't have to be there until 1pm so hopefuly early morning traffic will have reduced a bit.

Charlotte st, has also been recommended before so looks like thats where we shall aim for..

Raid the small change - minimum charge in Charlotte St is now £4 even if you are only there 5 minutes - you can stay 4 hours for that though. Machines take credit cards!

If you only plan to be an hour or two Avon St is cheaper - min charge there is only £2.60 for 2 hours.
