Arriving at Bath Spa

The train from Bristol Temple Meads will arrive at Bath Spa Train Station, the busiest station in Somerset. The Great Western Railway is the only train operator at the station, providing train services to destinations like Cardiff Central, Portsmouth Harbour, London Paddington, and Reading.

It’s located on Dorchester Street, right in the city centre of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Meaning that it’s perfectly possible to walk into the city centre if you’d prefer, wistfully admiring the elegant features of the city’s predominantly eighteenth-century architecture. Nevertheless, there are also local buses nearby, and a taxi rank is available at the station’s exit.

Bath is the only city in the UK that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so there are many things to do in this city that looks like it’s popped right out of a fantasy novel. Just as a taster, right from the station you’ll find the Palladian Bridges, Bath Abbey, and the luxury spa of the Royal Crescent Hotel, which is only a five-minute walk from the station. The legendary Roman Baths, from which the city gets its name, aren’t far, either.
