​
Address for SAT NAV: Norwood Avenue, Bath, BA2 7BA
​
By Train: Arrive into Bath Spa Station. Outside the station you are able to catch buses to campus or get a taxi. Buses run frequently from the Dorchester Street stop next to Cafe Nero and opposite the coach station (1 min walk from train station). A return ticket costs approximately £2. The two most regular buses are the U1 and the U18. A one way trip to campus in a taxi will cost approximately £6-8.
​
Walking to Campus: It is a simple 30-40 minute walk to campus from the city centre/train station. Whichever way you walk though it will be up hill and quite a steep hill at that. So, if you're keen to arrive by foot ensure you set off in comfortable shoes and light-clothing.
