To visit Prior Park Landscape Garden, don't even think about driving - it's the one way you can't get there, as there's no visitor parking at all. Instead, take the bus (2, 4 or U6) which drops you at the gate. The smart route exits at the bottom of the park, so you never have to climb Ralph Allen Drive twice. This pairs naturally with the Skyline walk, another great way to see Bath's countryside.

As with any National Trust site, it's a good idea to check their website for up-to-date opening times and prices before you head out. If you're planning a longer trip to Bath, see our guides to things to do in Bath or a romantic weekend in Bath for more ideas. And for another great walk, consider the Two Tunnels Greenway, a flat and traffic-free path just outside the city.
