We caught the train to Bath and walked up from the station, following directions, the Park was easy enough to find. We did not find the the hill particularly steep but the climb is long and relentless so pace yourself. The entrance facilities are basic but the greeting was welcoming and informative. The park is well laid out and the... More

This site is absolutely wonderful, which is great since I had quite the trip getting there. The day prior to attending I had walked by what I had believed to be the entrance to park to check the opening and see how long it took from my hotel. Well, it turns out I had walked to the Priory Park Garden... More

We almost gave up on our visit as we couldn't find the entrance when arriving by car. There are not the usual brown National Trust road signs. We had to ask for directions, only to find there is just parking available for disabled badge holders. The lady at the entrance gate was very helpful and explained where we could park... More

Prior Park is a peaceful NT owned property about a six minute bus ride out of Bath - also accessible as part of the open top bus tour, or a steep walk uphill. The NT trust staff at the entrance were very helpful in explaining the history of the site and the layout of the gardens. There is a cafe... More

Well worth a visit! We used the Skyline City open top bus tour to get there and easy to get on again afterwards to return to where you want to be. The gardens are spacious, interesting ( never seen so much wild garlic in one place in my life) and the Palladiun bridge with it's 17th century graffiti is amazing.... More

If you're in Bath you must visit these gardens. The walk around the perimeter allows you to take in the views across the town, to enjoy vistas like the photos above and to have a little taste of Georgian England. Well maintained by a superb set of staff.

Definately worth a visit but be aware the entrance is at the top of a very steep hill with no car parking so take the bus or a taxi. However, when you have finished your walk round you are at the bottom of the hill and can take an easy canal and riverside walk back into the centre of Bath

The other two were Japanese so that gives you an idea of how magnificent these were. An absolute highlight of our trip to Bath and I recommend it to be at the top of anyone's itinerary who is visiting there. Magnificent! Cute outdoor tea rooms with spectacular views half way around the walk.

Definitely my favourite garden in Bath! There are two ways to get there: Bus or Feet. The bus is quick and easy. Per feet can become a case of sweating! Till you reach the entrance of the garden, you have to walk a looooooong, steeeeeeeep hill and I got blisters on my heels ;-) Second time I took the bus.... More
