From the A36 Warminster Road:
Turn left at a set of traffic lights, follow the road down the hill into Sydney Place and Sydney Gardens is on the right hand side. Parking is not a problem although you are only allowed one hour here.

From the A367 Wellsway:
Follow the road until you come to the railway viaduct, turn right here and follow the road towards Widcome. Go through Widcome towards the City Centre, you will approach a set of traffic lights which are underneath the railway line, go straight on here until you reach a roundabout. At this roundabout go straight ahead until the next set of traffic lights, turn right here and this takes you into Sydney Place. The location is on the right left.

Parking can easily be found in the area although you have restrictions or you have to pay and display.

There are public toilets in Sydney Gardens and plenty of catering facilities in Bath City Centre.

The light is at its best from around 14:00 onwards. An ideal time for photographing the local waste train. There are shadows in the evenings which can be a pain but it does not cause to many problems.
If filming please we aware that this is a family park and there will often be children playing.

The proposed fence has now been put up. It is a 'wicket & wire' fence that is completely out of character with the location. You can peer over it but it does limit the scope of any shot. In particular any hope of getting a shot of a train in a park setting is spoilt. Nice location for a back wall and Victorian bridges though.
