As soon as I saw the pictures of this bridge on the internet, i just knew i had to go and see it, and was not let down. One of the most stunning bridges and views of Bath I have ever seen, with plenty more to see within the landscaped park, and being a national trust member it was all... More

We were short on time but wanted to visit the gardens as we are NT members. Pleased we did as it was a very pleasant contrast to the hustle and bustle of Bath and the views were delightful. As we had already purchased day tickets for the open-top hop on /off sightseeing bus we took the scenic tour and got... More

We absolutely loved Prior Park! We decided that we would walk there from the Abbey which is not advisable unless you are a very keen walker! The last two miles of the walk were very steep!! It's worth being a member of the National Trust for value for money - and the beverages etc are quite expensive. It's well worth... More

Visited Prior Park on an English spring day - in the course of two hours we had rain, sunshine and overcast skies! The park is lovely, some nice optional walks as well as the main path to the bridge and small snack hut. The NT have tried to make this environmentally friendly by not having on site parking so people... More

After living in Bath for 8 years I finally paid this place a visit and i've been back 3 times in the last month! The thing that put me off for so long is that your cant park there as they have no car park so you have to park about 15 minutes away and walk down to it. The... More

I walked up to the entrance and it is a hike, but you can take the bus or a taxi. The landscape and the architecture are breathtaking. It is a perfect place for relaxing with a book, a drawing pad or a picnic. It is a must see! More

Took the bus up the steep hill and walked back. It helped that it was 19 degrees outside and spent 3 hours wandering around. More

We were blessed with a gorgeous sunny day in March and the gardens were alive with birdsong. I have never seen so much wild garlic! We saw a long tailed and a nuthatch, blue, coal and robins, heard various woodpeckers and saw a few red kites soaring above. The Palladian bridge is stunning, and the grafitti on it, lots from...
