It's easy to get to Bath by car. The city is only 16km (10 miles) along the A46 from junction 18 of the M4 motorway coming from London and Heathrow. The M5 motorway provides excellent links from the North and Devon and Cornwall, while Bristol and Wales are just a short drive west on the M4. The local council recommends that people going to Bath for a whole day or more should use the city's Park and Ride facilities, i.e. park their car in a car park outside of town and use one of the frequent bus services connecting these car parks with the city centre. These out-of-town car parks are all signposted along the roads leading into Bath.
