Arriving by plane
Heathrow: The fastest way is to take the "Heathrow Express" to Paddington, from where Intercity trains run to Bath. Less expensive and only slightly slower is the coach link to Reading station, from where you can catch the Bath Intercity. Even cheaper, but slower (approx. 2 hours 30 mins) is the National Express coach link to Bath. Coaches depart from the "Central Bus Station" between Terminals 1, 2 and 3 (follow signs at Heathrow)… or let us arrange a taxi for you.

Other London Airports: Take a train to London and make your way to Paddington station by underground. Intercity trains to Bath run frequently. Or take one of the link coaches travelling to Heathrow and change at the Central Bus Station as above.

Bristol Airport: Take a coach into Bristol, from where buses and trains run frequently into Bath. Or you might prefer to take a taxi to Bath. 

Arriving by train or coach/bus
You will arrive at the railway/bus station which is a ten minutes' walk away from Athole House. Give us a call, and we will collect you free of charge. 

Arriving by road
From motorway M4: Leave motorway at junction 18 (Bath) and follow signs for Bath. Once in Bath, follow signs for "Through traffic". This will lead you around the city centre. Follow signs for "Bristol/Wells", until you reach a large roundabout, where the first exit is signposted "Shepton Mallet/Radstock". This leads you up the hill on the "Wells Road". "Upper Oldfield Park" is the first road on the right immediately after a left-hand turn of the road (dangerous crossing!).

From Bristol: As you approach Bath, follow signs for Warminister (A46). This will lead you along Lower Bristol Road. Pass Little Chef, McDonald's, and BMW, Mitsubishi and Toyota garages. Turn right into "Lower Oldfield Park" opposite a Renault garage on your left. "Upper Oldfield Park" follows about 500 yards later on your left.

From Radstock: Follow signs for the city centre. This will lead you down Wellsway. Go past the "Bear" pub and a "JCR" shop on your left. Do NOT turn into the next road "Oldfield ROAD", but the one after that on your left which is "Upper Oldfield Park".
