The Recreation Ground visitor guide | Bath RFC guide

The Recreation Ground is the home of Bath rugby union club, located in the centre of Bath, England, next to the River Avon. 

During the summer the rugby ground's temporary East Stand is removed to make way for cricket.

The ground lies at the heart of Bath, within easy reach of pubs, restaurants and shops, all of which are crammed full of rugby fans before games.

Bath is one of the top three tourist destinations in the country, so there's no shortage of things to do if you’re around for a day or two. Some of the best city sights include the Roman Baths, Royal Photographic Museum and American Museum.

Getting To The Recreation Ground

Bath is well served by transport links, and is easily accessible by train or car.

Bath Spa railway station is connected to London and the South West by Intercity services. The Recreation Ground is approximately five minutes' walk from the station.

For those wishing to drive, the M4 motorway joins Bath to London in the east and Wales in the west. Driving from London takes around 2 hours 15 minutes.

There is limited parking in the city centre, so you may want to take advantage of the Park and Ride scheme that runs from nearby Lambridge.
