Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Charlotte Street Is the Main Car Park for the Jane Austen Centre The nearest recommended public car park is Charlotte Street, which the Jane Austen Centre lists alongside Broad Street for visitors arriving by car (janeausten.co.uk). Charlotte Street is open 24 hours a day and has 1,056 spaces, including 26 disabled spaces (janeausten.co.uk), making it the most substantial option for a visit to 40 Gay Street. The site is in Kingsmead, where a large public car park can be more practical than trying to find a space on the surrounding streets. Charlotte Street is also described as about a five-minute walk from the museum by Evendo (evendo.com), so drivers can leave the car and continue into central Bath on foot. ## Broad Street and Bath Park and Ride Alternatives Broad Street is named with Charlotte Street as a nearby public parking option in the visitor directions for the Jane Austen Centre (janeausten.co.uk). It gives drivers another central car park to consider when Charlotte Street is busy, without relying on a space directly outside 40 Gay Street. Bath's Park and Ride sites remain free of charge to people using the bus, according to Visit Bath (visitbath.co.uk). Charges apply daily from midnight to midnight, all year round, at Bath's Park and Ride car parks (janeausten.co.uk). This can suit visitors who prefer to avoid taking a car into the central streets around Kingsmead, particularly for longer days in Bath. Show map of Kingsmead ## Weekend Congestion and Central Bath Street Pressure Bath's Park and Ride sites can become very congested, particularly on weekends (janeausten.co.uk). Weekend visitors heading to the Jane Austen Centre should allow for slower approaches to the city and consider leaving the car outside the central area before taking the bus. Parking at Bath's Park and Ride sites is free for people using the bus, while charges apply daily from midnight to midnight all year round for drivers who park at the sites (visitbath.co.uk; janeausten.co.uk). The site is at 40 Gay Street, so a central parking choice avoids depending on a short-stay space on the narrow streets around the museum. ## Parksy Spaces Around Gay Street and Crescent Gardens Parksy lists a driveway space in Crescent Gardens, 0.2 mi away, at £100 a month, as well as a 24/7 space at the Holiday Inn Express Bath, also 0.2 mi away, at £80 a day. A space on Bay Tree Road, Bath, BA1, is 0.2 mi away and costs £4.50 a day. Three further priced spaces are listed 0.3 to 0.4 mi from the site. These include a space at the Redcar Hotel in Bath BA2 at £2 an hour, a space near The Hand to Elbow Clinic in Bath at £2 an hour, and a secure space on Great Pulteney Street at £100 a month. The Crescent Gardens, Holiday Inn Express and Bay Tree Road options are the closest listed spaces by distance. ## Bath Spa Railway Station Is the Easiest Rail Approach Bath Spa railway station is the nearest station, 0.5 mi from the Jane Austen Centre and an 11-minute walk away. From the station, walking is a straightforward alternative to taking a car into Kingsmead, especially when central parking approaches are congested. Oldfield Park railway station is about a 17-minute walk from the site, while Hampton Row Halt railway station is about an 18-minute walk away. Bath Spa offers the shortest stated walk, with Oldfield Park and Hampton Row Halt providing additional rail approaches for visitors whose trains call there.
