Parking Near Lansdown
Free parking at Lansdown Park & Ride and on Lansdown Road
Lansdown Park & Ride is the clearest free parking option for drivers using the bus. TravelWest states that parking is free when the driver uses the bus and returns to collect the car on the same day (travelwest.info). The Lansdown site serves Bath on service 31, so it is suited to a parked-car journey followed by public transport rather than a place to leave a vehicle indefinitely.
Morford Street and Lansdown Road have free parking after 6pm until 8am along the single yellow line, according to Hill House Bath (hillhousebath.co.uk). The restriction applies seven days a week, so the free overnight period does not turn the single-yellow-line sections into unrestricted daytime parking.
