Follow the signs for the town centre on the A4. After the first set of traffic lights the Lambridge Park and Ride (Bath Rugby's old training ground) is immediately to your left.

                The Park & Ride is open for 1st XV fixtures-though not for evening games

In addition to Lambridge Park & Ride there are several Council-run Park & Ride sites convenient for the Recreation Ground.
